The main class is Config with capital C, not lowercase config

from bestconfig import Config config = Config() print(config.get('key', default='default_value')) print(config.key)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaConfig raises KeyError if accessing a missing key with attribute syntax. Use .get() with a default to avoid exceptions.

fix

Use config.get('missing_key', default='fallback') instead of config.missing_key

affects: all

deprecatedThe method Config.get_config() is deprecated in favor of direct attribute access or .get().

fix

Replace config.get_config('key') with config.key or config.get('key')

affects: >=1.3.0

gotchaEnvironment variable overrides: Prefix env vars with your app name to avoid conflicts. By default, all env vars are loaded.

fix

Set Config(env_prefix='MYAPP_') to only load variables starting with 'MYAPP_'

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

KeyError: 'key'

Trying to access a config key that does not exist using attribute syntax.

fix

Use config.get('key', default) or check with 'key' in config

AttributeError: 'Config' object has no attribute 'some_key'

Typo or key not loaded (e.g., file not found or env var missing).

fix

Ensure the key exists in your config files or use .get() to avoid AttributeError

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file 'config.yml'

Default config file is missing. BestConfig looks for config.yml, config.json, etc.

fix

Create a config.yml or pass a custom path to Config(file='my_config.yml')
