Top 14 Python Configuration Management Projects
-
SaltStack
Software to automate the management and configuration of any infrastructure or application at scale. Get access to the Salt software package repository here:
Have a look at https://github.com/saltstack/salt/tree/master/tests/pytests/unit and https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/development/tests/unit.html

Project mention: How to hide API key in my open-source project? -python | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2021-11-26
For more see python's package that implements some helpers for this approach: https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv

Scout APM
Scout APM: A developer's best friend. Try free for 14-days. Scout APM uses tracing logic that ties bottlenecks to source code so you know the exact line of code causing performance issues and can get back to building a great product faster.

Not 100% here, but thought I'd at least mention it: https://yadm.io/

I've been meaning to take a look at https://github.com/rochacbruno/dynaconf lately. Seems really great, can even load values dynamically from external sources. Seems like the next evolution in configuration IMO ¯_(ツ)_/¯
-
autorandr
Auto-detect the connected display hardware and load the appropriate X11 setup using xrandr
autorandr: CLI application with lots of useful config options. Built-in functionality to switch layouts on device events.
-
pyinfra
pyinfra automates infrastructure super fast at massive scale. It can be used for ad-hoc command execution, service deployment, configuration management and more.
I personally like pyinfra a lot.

GinConfig

I recommend this instead of complicated standard yaml:

Project mention: on jenkins, build tools, etc - having a terrible experience | reddit.com/r/devops | 2021-11-17
I'm used to just slapping together some renewable code and throwing it in https://github.com/eNMS-automation/eNMS emms and it just works. If there is something that doesn't work ... I just code around it. No app that tells me some insane limitation. Just a couple lines of bash or python.

I often work with the Yocto Project to build custom Linux distributions for a various range of products. One of the main struggles you can have while working with this tool is managing multiple git repositories in order to produce a successful build. A new tool called kas tries to simplify this process; let's see how by building a distribution for a Pine64 board.
-
parse_it
A python library for parsing multiple types of config files, envvars & command line arguments that takes the headache out of setting app configurations.
-
spock
spock is a framework that helps manage complex parameter configurations during research and development of Python applications (by fidelity)
Project mention: [D] I'm new and scrappy. What tips do you have for better logging and documentation when training or hyperparameter training? | reddit.com/r/MachineLearning | 2021-05-24We wrote Spock which actually sits in the middle ground between Hydra and OmegaConf (I’m of the same opinion that Hydra does a little too much feature wise). You can do hierarchical composition within the markdown of any JSON, YAML, or TOML files by simply using the config argument. No code needed to merge. Docs are here if you’re interested.

Project mention: [P] Minimal PyTorch Library for Natural Evolution Strategies | reddit.com/r/MachineLearning | 2021-04-16
My main goal with this project was to test my new configuration system library pipcs https://github.com/goktug97/pipcs and see how practical to write a library with it. Also, it can act as an example for pipcs.
