Config¶

Use this module when you need to expand cihai configuration dictionaries before passing them to cihai.core.Cihai. Most users only need cihai.config.expand_config() indirectly through the application object.

Configuration options for Cihai app.

cihai.config.expand_config(d, dirs=app_dirs) ¶ function[source] function[source] cihai.config.expand_config(d, dirs=app_dirs) ¶

Expand configuration XDG variables, environmental variables, and tildes.

Parameters:

d (dict) – config information
dirs (object) – AppDirs-compatible XDG application mapping

Return type:

None

Notes

Environmentable variables are expanded via os.path.expandvars(). So ${PWD} would be replaced by the current PWD in the shell, ${USER} would be the user running the app.

XDG variables are expanded via str.format(). These do not have a dollar sign. They are:

{user_cache_dir}
{user_config_dir}
{user_data_dir}
{user_log_dir}
{site_config_dir}
{site_data_dir}
