| 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. |

| 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 |
