I’ve always found Python’s standard configuration management patterns to be overly verbose. Loading nested YAML files and assigning values to variables just to pass them into standard functions creates a lot of noise.
pyconject is a library I wrote to abstract all of that away using configuration injection. It works by mapping your directory and function structures directly to your YAML hierarchy.
How it works:
Instead of writing boilerplate to parse configs.yml, you just wrap your target and open a context:
```
from my_module import black_func
from pyconject import pyconject
# Explicitly wrap the function
black_func = pyconject.wrap(black_func)
# Inject parameters from configs.yml (and optional environment targets)
with pyconject.cntx(target="stg"):
black_func()
```
It handles hierarchical resolution (falling back from configs-stg.yml to configs.yml), supports custom file paths, and allows library developers to register default configurations that end-users can seamlessly override.
