It's designed to reduce boilerplate when you need both CLI flags and config files in the same application. The package depends only on future, keeping its footprint minimal.\n\nThe library targets developers who want straightforward config handling without the complexity of larger frameworks. It's been stable since 2014 and carries no known security vulnerabilities, but its classifiers only mention Python up to 3.5, raising questions about actual compatibility with current Python versions.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The low install friction and permissive license make it a reasonable choice for simple config-file-plus-CLI scenarios. However, verify that it actually works with your target Python version\u2014the classifiers suggest it may not be actively maintained for modern Python. If you need robust config handling for a new project, consider whether a more actively maintained alternative better suits your timeline."},"id":"pyconfigurator","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyconfigurator","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyconfigurator.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyconfigurator/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-05-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyconfigurator","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A library for easy configuration"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":360798,"position":7243,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.19"}
