Can I have multiple ini config files in Pyramid?

I'd like an equivalent of the Django One True Way settings layout: a shared base file, and then a production file and a development file, each of which import the shared base.

Is this possible with Pyramid's config?

Solution

  • Yes that's possible. In one of my projects I have a production_base.ini file and all other production inis inherit from it:

    production_base.ini

    [app:main]
use = egg:xxx
maintenance_mode = False

    production_www.ini

    [app:main]
use = config:production_base.ini
maintenance_mode = True  # overwrites the value in the base ini

    You can also check paste docs for more examples.

    Side note - you can't inherit logging section though.
