io_tools.postproc_toml_dict

io_tools.postproc_toml_dict.merge_config_with_default(cfg_inp, cfg_def, match_key={})

Merge a TOML config dict with a default TOML dict. The default dict dictates the structure of the input:

• Only sections and keys in the default are allowed in the input

• All sections listed in match_key must be lists of dicts in the default and can be lists of dicts or dicts in the config

The dicts allows for the following extensions:

• Mandatory inputs for all calculations indicated by “<no default>”

• None indicated by “<none>”. Also works inside lists

• References within the dictionary indicated by “<section.key>”

Parameters:

cfg_inpdict

The input config dict

cfg_defdict

The default config dict

match_keydict, optional

A dictionary that contains section/key pairs to map entries in listed sections between the input and default config.

Returns:

dict

The merged config dict
