envitro 0.1.0

A module to read environment variables.

A module for reading configuration values from the OS environment variables.

Compared to using straight os.getenv() this module provides convenience functions, for parsing basic datatypes. It also allows to specify optional default values if the environment variable does not exist.

Usage

import envitro

# fails when environment variables are missing
bool_required = envitro.bool("BOOL_ENV")
int_required = envitro.int("INTEGER_ENV")
str_required = envitro.str("STRING_ENV")

# falls back to defaults
bool_default = envitro.bool("BOOL_NOT_FOUND", False)
int_default = envitro.int("INTEGER_NOT_FOUND", 42)
str_default = envitro.str("STRING_NOT_FOUND", "my_default")
