ZConfig: Schema-driven configuration

ZConfig is a configuration library intended for general use.
It supports a hierarchical schema-driven configuration model that
allows a schema to specify data conversion routines written in Python.
ZConfig’s model is very different from the model supported by the
ConfigParser module found in Python’s standard library, and is more
suitable to configuration-intensive applications.

ZConfig schema are written in an XML-based language and are able to
“import” schema components provided by Python packages.
Since components are able to bind to conversion functions provided by
Python code in the package (or elsewhere), configuration objects can
be arbitrarily complex, with values that have been verified against
arbitrary constraints.
This makes it easy for applications to separate configuration support
from configuration loading even with configuration data being defined
and consumed by a wide range of separate packages.
