cli.cmd_etl.cmds.convert_helper.converter_setup(config: dict) → Converter

Create and return a configured Converter instance.

This function validates the provided configuration’s “conversion” section, builds a ConversionSettings object from it, and then instantiates a Converter using the given data_path and recursive flags.

Parameters:

config –

A dictionary containing:

• ”conversion”: dict with keys:

  • ”input_format”: expected input format (InputFormats member).

  • ”output_format”: desired output format (OutputFormats member).

  • ”skip_footer”: optional int, number of footer lines to skip (for DTA).

• ”data_path”: pathlib.Path pointing to a file or directory.

• ”recursive”: bool indicating whether to traverse subdirectories.

Returns:

A Converter that is ready to execute the conversion.

Exit behavior:

If validation fails, validate_converter_config prints an error via recho and terminates the process with sys.exit(1).
