-Confuse is a configuration library for Python that uses YAML.
+Confuse is a configuration library for Python that uses YAML. It takes care of
+defaults, overrides, type checking, command-line integration, environment

-Confuse was made to power beets. Like beets, it is available under the MIT
-license.
+Here is what Confuse brings to the table:
+- An utterly sensible API resembling dictionary-and-list structures but
+  providing transparent validation without lots of boilerplate code. Type
+  config['num_goats'].get(int) to get the configured number of goats and ensure
+  that it is an integer.
+- Combine configuration data from multiple sources. Using layering, Confuse
+  allows user-specific configuration to seamlessly override system-wide
+  configuration, which in turn overrides built-in defaults. An in-package
+  config_default.yaml can be used to provide bottom-layer defaults using the
+  same syntax that users will see. A runtime overlay allows the program to
+  programmatically override and add configuration values.
+- Look for configuration files in platform-specific paths. Like $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
+  or ~/.config on Unix; "Application Support" on macOS; %APPDATA% on Windows.
+  Your program gets its own directory, which you can use to store additional
+  data. You can transparently create this directory on demand if, for example,
+  you need to initialize the configuration file on first run. And an environment
+  variable can be used to override the directory's location.
+- Integration with command-line arguments via argparse or optparse from the
+  standard library. Use argparse's declarative API to allow command-line options
+  to override configured defaults.
+- Include configuration values from environment variables. Values undergo
+  automatic type conversion, and nested dicts and lists are supported.
