Update loaded configuration with command line options

[ns-rse]

We load either a default configuration (from isoslam/default_config.yaml) or a user specified one (via isoslam --config <config_file.yaml>) but there are command line options for each sub-processor that should over-ride the
defaults.

To which end we need a function that updates the dictionary loaded from the YAML configuration with the options
specified on the command line, otherwise the command line options are ignored.

The following is just such a function which uses recursion to update dictionaries and also converts base_dir and
output_dir to Path using the associated helper function.

def convert_path(path: str | Path) -> Path:
    """
    Ensure path is Path object.

    Parameters
    ----------
    path : str | Path
        Path to be converted.

    Returns
    -------
    Path
        Pathlib object of path.
    """
    return Path().cwd() if path == "./" else Path(path).expanduser()


def update_config(config: dict, args: dict | Namespace) -> dict:
    """
    Update the configuration with any arguments.

    Parameters
    ----------
    config : dict
        Dictionary of configuration (typically read from YAML file specified with '-c/--config <filename>').
    args : Namespace
        Command line arguments.

    Returns
    -------
    dict
        Dictionary updated with command arguments.
    """
    args = vars(args) if isinstance(args, Namespace) else args

    config_keys = config.keys()
    for arg_key, arg_value in args.items():
        if isinstance(arg_value, dict):
            update_config(config, arg_value)
        else:
            if arg_key in config_keys and arg_value is not None:
                original_value = config[arg_key]
                config[arg_key] = arg_value
                LOGGER.debug(f"Updated config config[{arg_key}] : {original_value} > {arg_value} ")
    if "base_dir" in config.keys():
        config["base_dir"] = convert_path(config["base_dir"])
    if "output_dir" in config.keys():
        config["output_dir"] = convert_path(config["output_dir"])
    return config
