Thats the point. Who says it has to be a config file? Think outside the box.
Here is how Flask can do configuration (a Python micro framework):
<code>
class Config(object):
DEBUG = False
TESTING = False
DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite://:memory:'
class ProductionConfig(Config):
DATABASE_URI = 'mysql://user@localhost/foo'
class DevelopmentConfig(Config):
DEBUG = True
class TestinConfig(Config):
TESTING = True

- datasink 16y agoZend Framework also handles configs with inheritance. It's an elegant way to handle overrides, no doubt. They do one better by allowing the definition to be in ini files, which would have circumvented the Tumblr bug. Still, I think config files are often best when they're verbose and as straightforward as possible. There are fewer surprises this way. If I'm working on a project by myself or with a very small team of people I trust, I'd go the inheritance route. If the team is larger, I'd go the verbose route.
