Reading the Configuration Files

from tardis.io.config_reader import Configuration

The configuration can be read this way. It will be validated by the json-schema schemas (including filling out default configuration options that had not been specified).

conf = Configuration.from_yaml('tardis_example.yml')

Despite the very simple nature of tardis_example.yml, the output does contain all the default values

conf.plasma
