kloch /klˈoʃ/ is a configuration system for launching software.
Configurations are yaml files referred as "environment profile" which specify
the parameters for one or multiple pre-defined launchers.
Launchers are internally defined python objects that specify how to execute a combinations of options and (optional) command.
In a very abstract way, kloch is a system that:
- serialize the arguments passed to a pre-defined function as yaml files.
- execute that function by unserializing the parameters provided at runtime.
kloch was initially designed as the environment manager layer when used with
the rez package manager.
- offer a CLI and a public python API
- custom config format for environment profiles:
- inheritance
- inheritance merging rules with token system
- arbitrary profile locations with flexible configuration
- plugin system for launchers
- robust logging.
- good amount of unittesting
- good documentation with a lot of doc created at code level
- python 3.7+ support (EOL was in June 2023).
- PyYAML as only mandatory external python dependency.
- flexible "meta" configuration from environment variable or config file.
- clear public and private API
