Common errors

error ImportError: cannot import name 'Config' from 'sconf' ↓
cause Trying to import a non-existent class 'Config'.
fix
Use: from sconf import Sconf
error sconf.Sconf object is not subscriptable ↓
cause Trying to index a Sconf instance directly with integer index.
fix

Warnings

gotcha Accessing a missing key returns None silently, no KeyError. ↓
fix Use .get() or check key existence with `in`.
gotcha The library uses eval() internally for CLI overrides, which can execute arbitrary code if user input is not sanitized. ↓
fix Do not expose CLI override functionality to untrusted input.
