iniconfig: brain-dead simple parsing of ini files ======================================================= iniconfig is a small and simple INI-file parser module having a unique set of features: * tested against Python2.4 across to Python3.2, Jython, PyPy * maintains order of sections and entries * supports multi-line values with or without line-continuations * supports "#" comments everywhere * raises errors with proper line-numbers * no bells and whistles like automatic substitutions * iniconfig raises an Error if two sections have the same name. If you encounter issues or have feature wishes please report them to: http://github.org/RonnyPfannschmidt/iniconfig/issues Basic Example =================================== If you have an ini file like this:: # content of example.ini [section1] # comment name1=value1 # comment name1b=value1,value2 # comment [section2] name2= line1 line2 then you can do:: >>> import iniconfig >>> ini = iniconfig.IniConfig("example.ini") >>> ini['section1']['name1'] # raises KeyError if not exists 'value1' >>> ini.get('section1', 'name1b', [], lambda x: x.split(",")) ['value1', 'value2'] >>> ini.get('section1', 'notexist', [], lambda x: x.split(",")) [] >>> [x.name for x in list(ini)] ['section1', 'section2'] >>> list(list(ini)[0].items()) [('name1', 'value1'), ('name1b', 'value1,value2')] >>> 'section1' in ini True >>> 'inexistendsection' in ini False
