Simple but maybe too simple config management through python data classes. We use it for machine learning.

Overview

👩‍✈️ Coqpit

CI

Simple, light-weight and no dependency config handling through python data classes with to/from JSON serialization/deserialization.

Currently it is being used by 🐸 TTS.

Why I need this

What I need from a ML configuration library...

  1. Fixing a general config schema in Python to guide users about expected values.

    Python is good but not universal. Sometimes you train a ML model and use it on a different platform. So, you need your model configuration file importable by other programming languages.

  2. Simple dynamic value and type checking with default values.

    If you are a beginner in a ML project, it is hard to guess the right values for your ML experiment. Therefore it is important to have some default values and know what range and type of input are expected for each field.

  3. Ability to decompose large configs.

    As you define more fields for the training dataset, data preprocessing, model parameters, etc., your config file tends to get quite large but in most cases, they can be decomposed, enabling flexibility and readability.

  4. Inheritance and nested configurations.

    Simply helps to keep configurations consistent and easier to maintain.

  5. Ability to override values from the command line when necessary.

    For instance, you might need to define a path for your dataset, and this changes for almost every run. Then the user should be able to override this value easily over the command line.

    It also allows easy hyper-parameter search without changing your original code. Basically, you can run different models with different parameters just using command line arguments.

  6. Defining dynamic or conditional config values.

    Sometimes you need to define certain values depending on the other values. Using python helps to define the underlying logic for such config values.

  7. No dependencies

    You don't want to install a ton of libraries for just configuration management. If you install one, then it is better to be just native python.

    [feature request] change the `arg_perfix` of coqpit

    Is it possible to change the arg_perfix when using Coqpit object to another value / empty string? I see the option is supported in the code by changing arg_perfix, but not sure how to access it using the proposed API.

    Thanks for the package, looks very useful!

    [feature request] Warning when unexpected key is loaded but not present in class

    Here is an toy scenario where it would be nice to have a warning

    from dataclasses import dataclass
    from coqpit import Coqpit
    
    @dataclass
    class SimpleConfig(Coqpit):
        val_a: int = 10
        val_b: int = None
    
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        config = SimpleConfig()
    
        tmp_config = config.to_dict()
        tmp_config["unknown_key"] = "Ignored value"
        config.from_dict(tmp_config)
        print(config.to_json())
    

    There the value of config.to_json() is

    {
        "val_a": 10,
        "val_b": null
    }
    

    Which is expected behaviour, but we should get a warning that some keys were ignored (IMO)
