        Inspiration
        -----------
        This module is inspired by [GNU bash's variable expansion features](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Shell-Parameter-Expansion.html). It can be used as an alternative to Python's [os.path.expandvars](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.expandvars) function.
        
        A good use case is reading config files with the flexibility of reading values from environment variables using advanced features like returning a default value if some variable is not defined.
        For example:
        
        ```toml
        [default]
        my_secret_access_code = "${ACCESS_CODE:-default_access_code}"
        ```
        
        > NOTE: Although this module copies most of the common behaviours of bash,
        > it doesn't follow bash strictly. For example, it doesn't work with arrays.
        
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        ```python
        from expandvars import expandvars
        
        print(expandvars("$PATH:$HOME/bin:${SOME_UNDEFINED_PATH:-/default/path}"))
        # /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/home/you/bin:/default/path
        ```
        
        
        Examples
        --------
        For now, [refer to the test cases](https://github.com/sayanarijit/expandvars/blob/master/tests) to see how it behaves.
        
        
        Contributing
        ------------
        To contribute, setup environment following way:
        
        ```bash
        # Clone repo
        git clone https://github.com/sayanarijit/expandvars && cd expandvars
        
        # Create virtualenv
        virtualenv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
        
        # Install library in edit mode along with other handy dev tools
        pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
        ```
        
        - Follow [general git guidelines](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Contributing-to-a-Project).
        - Keep it simple. Use [black](https://github.com/python/black) to format code.
        - Test your changes locally by running `pytest`.
        - If you are familiar with [tox](https://tox.readthedocs.io), you may want to use it for testing in different python versions.
