- config uri¶
In most cases this is simply an absolute or relative path to a config file on the system. However, it can also be a RFC 1738-style string pointing at a remote service or a specific parser without relying on the file extension. For example,
my-ini://foo.ini
may point to a loader namedmy-ini
that can parse the relativefoo.ini
file.- loader¶
An object conforming to the
plaster.ILoader
interface. A loader is responsible for locating and parsing the underlying configuration format for the given config uri.- loader protocol¶
A loader may implement zero or more custom named protocols. An example would be the
wsgi
protocol which requires that a loader implement certain methods likewsgi_app = get_wsgi_app(name=None, defaults=None)
.
