Hi,
Having solved my problem regarding setting up 'logger' such that it is
accessible throughout my program (thanks to the help on this list), I
now have problem related to a slightly similar issue.
My reading suggests that setting up a module with a Config class which
can be imported by any part of the program might be a reasonable approach:
import configparser
class Config:
def __init__(self, config_file):
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read(config_file)
However, in my config file I am using sections, so 'config' is a dict of
dicts. Is there any cleverer generic way of initialising the class than
self.config = config
?
This seems a bit clunky, because I'll end up with something like
import config
...
c = config.Config(config_file)
uids = get_uids(int(c.config["uids"]["minimum_uid"]))
rather than something like, maybe
uids = get_uids(int(c.minimum_uid))
or
uids = get_uids(int(c.uids_minimum_uid))
So the question is: How can I map a dict of dicts onto class attributes
in a generic way such that only code which wants to use a new
configuration parameter needs to be changed and not the Config class
itself? Or should I be doing this differently?
Note that the values from ConfigParser are all strings, so I am fine
with the attributes being strings - I'll just convert them as needed at
the point of use (but maybe there is also a better way of handling that
within a class).
Cheers,
Loris
