Environment variables as objects?

[killermoehre]

Hi,

I'm thinking about a dataclass containing all the default variables like

from github_action_utils import vars
# vars.ci == True
# vars.github.event_path == '/github/workflow/event.json'

and so on. So every first _ in a variable name would actually open a new sub-level.
All values would be read-only. With appropriate __doc__ strings this would allow for great integration in any IDE.

The goal would be to reduce boilerplate code like

GITHUB = {
    "SERVER_URL": github_action_utils.get_env("GITHUB_SERVER_URL"),
    "REPOSITORY": github_action_utils.get_env("GITHUB_REPOSITORY"),
    "RUN_NUMBER": github_action_utils.get_env("GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER"),
}

Opinions?
