It abstracts away the complexity of reading and writing configuration files stored in YAML format, offering both a Python API and a command-line interface. The package supports loose key searches (e.g., searching for 'phal' to find all PHAL-related settings) and strict path-based lookups (e.g., '/PHAL/ovos-PHAL-plugin-system/enabled'). It automatically derives and preserves data types when setting values, so integers stay integers and booleans stay booleans when written back to the config.\n\nThe CLI includes commands to get, set, and show configuration values, list available sections, and perform autoconfiguration. It merges system, user, and remote configurations into a unified view, making it easy to inspect the effective configuration without manually parsing YAML files. The package is lightweight, with low install friction and no security vulnerabilities, making it a straightforward choice for any project that needs to manage Mycroft or OVOS settings programmatically.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real problem for Mycroft/OVOS users and developers. Low install friction and permissive licensing make it a safe dependency. Install it if you are building on top of Mycroft or OVOS and need programmatic config access."},"id":"ovos-config","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ovos-config","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ovos-config.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ovos-config/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ovos-config","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"ovos-core configuration module"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":79637,"position":14346,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.1"}
