Library for Python similar to Go's Viper / 12 Factor
I've mostly been using https://github.com/spf13/viper of late for my go projects. It supports the standard config formats, (json, yaml, toml etc) and lets you override any value with a ENV value.

Two ways to provide configuration: command-line, yaml file.
Not only that, the "unmarshall to struct" method doesn't work at all for environment variables. https://github.com/spf13/viper/issues/188
What are some alternatives?
config - JSON or YAML configuration wrapper with convenient access methods.
godotenv - A Go port of Ruby's dotenv library (Loads environment variables from .env files)
env - A simple and zero-dependencies library to parse environment variables into structs
envconfig - Small library to read your configuration from environment variables
go-arg - Struct-based argument parsing in Go
koanf - Simple, extremely lightweight, extensible, configuration management library for Go. Support for JSON, TOML, YAML, env, command line, file, S3 etc. Alternative to viper.
gcfg - read INI-style configuration files into Go structs; supports user-defined types and subsections
cleanenv - ✨Clean and minimalistic environment configuration reader for Golang
kelseyhightower/envconfig - Golang library for managing configuration data from environment variables
ini - Package ini provides INI file read and write functionality in Go
mapstructure - Go library for decoding generic map values into native Go structures and vice versa.
