Configa

Convert configuration items into Python objects.

Prerequisites

Targeting Python 3 here on a Linux platform, namely CentOS 7.

On a vanilla CentOS 7, you will need to install Python 3 manually. IUS can help you with this. Then:

$ sudo yum install -y python35u

Now, set python3 to your Python 3 executable:

$ sudo alternatives /usr/bin/python3 python3 /urs/bin/python3.5 20000

Note: python3 must exist in order for the project Makefile to function correctly.

Get the code:

$ git clone https://github.com/loum/configa.git

Build the virtual environment and download project dependencies:

$ cd configa
$ make init_wheel

Run the tests to make sure all is OK:

$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ make tests

Project documentation is self contained under the doc/source directory. To build the documentation locally:

$ make docs

The project comes with a simple web server that allows you to present the docs from within your own environment:

$ cd docs/build
$ ./http_server.py

Note: The web server will block your CLI and all activity will be logged to the console. To end serving pages, just Ctrl-C.

To view pages, open up a web browser and navigate to http:<your_server_IP>:8888

Why can't access the docs from my browser?

Firewall? Try:

$ sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8888/tcp --permanent
$ sudo firewall-cmd reload
