Hiveconf - a UNIX configuration framework

Overview

Hiveconf is a system for storing configuration data (key-value pairs). The purpose is similiar to the Windows registry or GConf. Configuration data can be retrieved and modifyed via a simple API. The data is stored using different "backends". The default backend is using a text file format, similiar to smb.conf or Windows .INI files.

Status

A Python implementation exists.
