Quickstart

Getting started with As You Wish is really easy, no really. Simply run: pip install as-you-wish to install.

Then create a file with the following code

from as-you-wish import Config

config = Config()
config.define('server.hostname', '127.0.0.1', 'what should we host the server on')
config.define('server.port', 8080, 'the port to use for the server')

config.load('server_settings.ini')

print(f"Hosting a server on {config.get('server.hostname')}:{config.get('server.port')}")

Expected output:

Hosting a server on 127.0.0.1:8080

On the first run, this will create a file that looks like this::

[server]
# what should we host the server on
hostname = 127.0.0.1
# the port to use for the server
port = 8080

You’ll also notice that the value of 'server.hostname' is returned as a string and the value of 'server.port' is returned as an integer, so no conversion is required.
