projectpaths 1.1.1

project-paths

Access file paths from pyproject.toml

Thanks to @Madoshakalaka for the idea!

# pyproject.toml
[tool.project-paths]
readme = "README.md"

# app.py
from project_paths import paths

# paths.readme is a pathlib.Path object:
print(paths.readme.read_text())

Install
pip install project-paths

Usage
Does your application have a bunch of configurable file paths? Do you
wish you just had one place to configure list them all?
Add paths to [tool.project-paths]
With this module, define your paths in your pyproject.toml file under
the [tool.project-paths] table:
[tool.project-paths]
docs = "path/to/my/docs"
settings = "path/to/my/settings.py"
config = "/opt/path/to/my/config
# Add as many paths as you want!

Anything string defined with [tool.project-paths] will be made
available. Relative paths are relative to pyproject.toml.
Access paths using project_paths.paths.<path name>
Now you can access all the paths listed in pyproject.toml with
project_paths.paths. Every path is returned as
a pathlib.Path object:
from project_paths import paths

print(paths.docs.glob("*.md"))
assert paths.config.exists()
exec(paths.settings.read_text())
# Or anything you want!

Access your project root directory using project_root
You can access the project root directory (assumed to be the directory
that contains pyproject.toml) using project_root, which acts like
a pathlib.Path object:
from project_paths import project_root

assert project_root.is_dir()
assert (project_root / "pyproject.toml").is_file()
print((project_root / "README.md").read_text())

Note: project_root is not a true Path object. Use
Path(project_root) to obtain a true Path object.

Caveats
Names in [tool.project-paths] should be a valid Python identifier
and the names cannot have a leading underscore. If a name has
a leading underscore, a warning is issued and the name is inaccessible:
[tool.project-paths]
# BAD: paths that start with a '_' cannot be used
_my_path = "path/to/wherever"
# GOOD: path is a valid Python identifier!
my_path = "path/to/wherever"

Errors
All intentional errors inherit from project_paths.ProjectPathError.
PyProjectNotFoundError
Raised when project_paths cannot find an appropriate pyproject.toml
for the caller. This can happen if the caller simply does not have
a pyproject.toml file, or when it's not possible to determine the
caller's filename.

NOTE: if accessing paths from the interactive console,
project_paths will find the appropriate pyproject.toml relative to
the current working directory!

ConfigurationNotFoundError
Raised when project_paths cannot find the [tool.project-paths] table
within the pyproject.toml file. Perhaps there is a typo or perhaps the
project_paths inferred the incorrect module path.
