load default config without argparse

[eddie]

Parts of my codebase which require sending tasks are run from scripts which already use argparse.

I'd like to be able to pass config options for mrq to use in this case, without going through https://github.com/pricingassistant/mrq/blob/master/mrq/config.py#L9 add_parser_args

Splitting out add_parser_args from get_config and removing the dependency of default config being coupled to ArgumentParser would allow use to pass a dict to get_config with ease.

Thoughts?

Hi!

You could do something like this:

from mrq import config
from mrq.context import set_current_config

set_current_config(config.get_config(sources=("file", "env"), config_type="run"))

This won't interfere with the command-line arguments of your global script. Would that work?

we should have a better & documented API for autoconfig.

The preferred way of doing this is now to use mrq.context.setup_context().

See https://github.com/pricingassistant/mrq/blob/master/tests/fixtures/standalone_script1.py for a simple example!

By default, setup_context() won't use the command-line arguments. Only mrq's commands (mrq-run, mrq-worker, mrq-dashboard) actually need this.
