something like this, which would be 100 lines.

Do we have any way to store it as template or store it in files like ".toml" or similar files and write to values(right side of ::) in python?

Solution

  • Put all the inputs as placeholders using $ and save it as txt file. Then use Template

    from string import Template
t = Template(open('template.txt', 'r'))
t.substitute(params_dict)

    Sample,

    >>> from string import Template
>>> t = Template('Hey, $name!')
>>> t.substitute(name='Bob')
'Hey, Bob!'
