app-skellington 0.1.1

Description:

appskellington 0.1.1

Application framework for Python, features include:

Pain-free multi-level command menu: Expose public class methods as commands available to user.
Simple to define services and automatic dependency injection based on name (with custom invocation as an option). *WIP
INI-style config and and validation (provided through ConfigObj).
Colored logging (provided through colorlog)
Works on Linux, Windows, and Mac.


Principles:

Lend to creating beautiful, easy to read and understand code in the application.
Minimize coupling of applications to this framework.
Compatable with Linux, Windows, and Mac. Try to be compatible as possible otherwise.
Try to be compatible with alternate Python runtimes such as PyPy and older python environments. *WIP




Application Configuration
Site configurations are supported through ConfigObj. There is a config.spec
in the src directory which is a validation file; it contains the accepted
parameter names, types, and limits for configurable options in the
application which is built on app_skellington. The format is multi-level .ini syntax.
Reference the ConfigObj documentation for config.ini and config.spec
format. See:


https://configobj.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configobj.html#the-config-file-format
https://configobj.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configobj.html#validation


Config files (config.ini) are created if they don’t exist. The
file always contains the full specification of parameters; i.e. even default
parameters are added into the config file.
Linux:
/home/<user>/.config/<app_name>/config.ini
/home/<user>/.cache/<app_name>/log/<app_name>.log
Windows:
C:\Users\<user>\<app_name>\Local\<app_name>\config.ini
C:\Users\<user>\<app_name>\Local\<app_name>\Logs\<app_name>.log
Application configuration can be overridden ad-hoc through the –config <filename>
argument.


Debug - Turn on Logging
Set ‘APPSKELLINGTON_ENABLE_LOGGING’ environment variable to any value which turns
on AppSkellington-level logging. For example,

APPSKELLINGTON_DEBUG=1 <executable>

or

export APPSKELLINGTON_DEBUG=1
<executable>



Tests
Tests are a WIP. Recommendation is to run ‘pytest’ in the ‘tests’ directory.
