Working With TOML and Python (Overview)

TOML—Tom’s Obvious Minimal Language—is a reasonably new configuration file format that the Python community has embraced over the last couple of years. TOML plays an essential part in the Python ecosystem. Many of your favorite tools rely on TOML for configuration, and you’ll use pyproject.toml when you build and distribute your own packages.

In this video course, you’ll learn more about TOML and how you can use it. In particular, you’ll:

• Learn and understand the syntax of TOML
• Use tomli and tomllib to parse TOML documents
• Use tomli_w to write data structures as TOML
• Use tomlkit when you need more control over your TOML files
