Configuration
The application supports multiple means for adjusting the internal configurations. When appropriate the default values for each configuration is hardcoded in module source code. However there are several options to change the value:
- Override the internal default value when instantinating the application object by passing different value to object constructor.
- Pass the different value by configuration file.
- Pass the different value by command line option.
The configuration values are assigned from the sources mentioned above in that particular order, so the value given by command line option overwrites the value written in configuration file.
Command line options
Configuration can be passed down to application by command line options. These options have the highest priority and will overwrite any other configuration values. Depending on the base object of the application different set of options is available.
Common application options
Following configuration options are available for all applications based on :py:mod:`pyzenkit.baseapp`:
Common script options
Following configuration options are available on top of common applicationsoptions for all applications based on :py:mod:`pyzenkit.zenscript`:
Configuration files and directories
Configuration can be passed down to application using a combination of configuration file or configuration directory.
The available configuration keys are very similar to command line options and the
names differ only in the use of _ character instead of -. However there is
a certain set of configuration keys that is available only through command line
options and not through configuration file and vice versa.
