I'm using argparse module to set my command line options. I'm also using a dict as a config in my application. Simple key/value store. What I'm looking for is a possibility to override JSON options using command line arguments, without defining all possible arguments in advance. Something like --conf-key-1 value1 --conf-key-2 value2, which would create a dict {'key_1': 'value1','key_2': 'value2'} ('-' in the argument is replaced by '_' in the dict). Then I can combine this dict with my JSON config (dict). So basically I would like to define --conf-* as an argument, where * can be any key and what comes after is the value. I did find configargparse module, but as far as I can see I start with a dict I already use. Any ideas how I could approach this? Continue reading...
