lazr.config

What it is and what it does

lazr.config is a configuration management library that lets you define schemas for configuration data and validate configurations against those schemas. It handles the parsing and processing of configuration files, ensuring they conform to a declared structure. The package is built on zope.interface and lazr.delegates, integrating with the Zope ecosystem.

You use it by defining a schema that specifies what configuration keys and values are allowed, then passing configuration data through that schema for validation. It's useful when you need structured, validated configuration rather than ad-hoc parsing of raw config files.

Use it for:

• Define and enforce a schema for application configuration files to catch errors early.
• Validate user-supplied configuration data before passing it to application logic.
• Build configuration management systems that require structured, typed configuration.
• Parse and validate configuration in tools or frameworks that need strict schema compliance.
• Integrate configuration validation into Zope-based applications.

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

lazr.config lets you define configuration schemas and validate configurations against them, handling parsing and processing of configuration data.

Yes, if you need declarative configuration schema validation. Low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and copyleft licensing is straightforward for most projects. Install it if your application requires validated, schema-driven configuration; skip it if you're handling simple key-value configs or prefer runtime validation.

Install

lazr-config on PyPI

pip install lazr-config

uv add lazr-config

poetry add lazr-config

Installing lazr.config

Before you install

Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution. Active maintenance with a recent release 13 days ago. Depends on zope.interface and lazr.delegates, both established ecosystem packages.

License in practice

Licensed under LGPL v3 (copyleft). You may use this package freely, but any modifications you distribute must also be released under LGPL v3 or a compatible license, and you must make source code available to recipients.

Quickstart

pip install lazr-config

from lazr.config import ConfigSchema

schema = ConfigSchema()
# Define and validate configuration

Requires Python 3.8 or later.

Verify before relying

• Whether the package is actively maintained beyond the recent release (repository metadata unavailable).
• Real-world usage patterns and what the monthly download volume reflects about adoption.
