Hello everybody,
maybe there is an obvious solution - but I just don't see it.
At the end of 'conf.py' I want to read and parse an additional
'Settings.yml' configuration file and add those settings to what we
already have in 'conf.py'. If present settings from the YAML file
should take precedence. So I need a way to programmatically define
settings like those in the lines of conf.py. For example:
html_theme = 'sphinx'
So what I need is something like this:
## conf.py:
# ...
# normal settings ...
# ...
more = parse_yaml() # return a dictionary
for k in more.keys():
# now I'd like to add
((k)) = more[k]
# where ((k)) should be a variable in the conf.py namespace.
Q: How do I do that?
In other words:
If in conf.py there is:
html_theme = 'sphinx'
k = 'html_theme'
v = 'basictheme'
Q: How do I write `k` = v?
In other words:
Q: How do I access the dictionary in conf.py that dir() queries?
This does not work:
_dict_[k] = v
This does not work
because it turns out that '__name__' has the value '__builtins__':
sys.modules[__name__].__dict__[k] = v
I just found that this seems to work:
html_theme = 'sphinx'
k = 'html_theme'
v = 'basictheme'
L = locals()
L[k] = v
print html_theme # -> gives 'basictheme'
Q: Is that the right and best way to do this?
... all the best ...
Martin
