TOML, introduced in 2013, is utilized for configuration in many Python packages, commonly in pyproject.toml. Python 3.11 includes tomllib for reading TOML documents, but it does not support writing. To create TOML files, third-party libraries like tomlkit or toml are needed. Notably, many Python tools including Mypy and Flake8 can be configured using pyproject.toml, streamlining configuration across various tools. This tutorial focuses on Python's native support for TOML through tomllib, which is based on the tomli package.
TOML (Tom's Obvious Minimal Language) is a configuration format adopted widely in Python development, especially useful in popular Python packages which use pyproject.toml.
Python 3.11 introduced tomllib to support reading TOML files, relying on the tomli package for its implementation but does not include writing capabilities.
For creating or editing TOML documents in Python, third-party packages such as tomlkit or toml are necessary, as tomllib is exclusively read-only.
The pyproject.toml file serves as a configuration tool in many Python tools like Mypy and Flake8, allowing for a unified configuration method.
