Read Yaml based configuration files.

This module provides a Config class and a load function as an alternate API to create and itinitialize it from a Yaml config file. The confile file format supports importing environment variables, defining local variables, and also optionally exporting variables to the environment. Simple string based variable substitution is also supported.

This module is meant to be imported into the target application, but can also be run as a script to read and print the config file.

Classes:

Config

Functions:

load_yaml(file_name) -> object

Yaml config file example:

import:
- HOME
- PATH

local:
- APP_VERSION : "0.7"
- APP_PATH    : "{HOME}/myapp-{APP_VERSION}/bin"

export:
- PATH : "{PATH}:{APP_PATH}"
