Initialize score

Let’s start by initializing our application using the command line:

>>> from score.init import init
>>> app1 = init({'score.init': {'modules': 'moswblog'}})
>>> app1.moswblog.government_grant
348000000
>>> app2 = init({'score.init': {'modules': 'moswblog'},
...              'moswblog': {'government_grant': 0}})
>>> app2.moswblog.government_grant
0

We have just initialized two different instances of our app with different configurations. The dict that we passed to score.init.init() contains the list of modules to initialize followed by each module’s configuration. This is a terribly inconvenient way of initializing a module, and we will create a configuration file to simplify this. Add the following to the file called dev.conf:

[score.init]
modules =
    moswblog

[moswblog]
government_grant = 0

>>> from score.init import init_from_file
>>> configured_score = init_from_file('dev.conf')
>>> configured_score.moswblog.government_grant
0

The file contains the configuration for development systems and it will get more interesting once we start adding other modules. It is time we start defining the ORM layer of moswblog.
