Process config file as a dict
Project description
What's it features
====================
* as simple as others
* you can access options according to dict syntax, just like x['name']['o'] =
1, x['name'].keys(), x['name'].values(), etc.
* you also can access options according to attr syntax, just like x.name.o = 1,
x.name.keys(), x.name.values(), etc. So the name must be Identifier or single word.
* you can save comments in it(but this feature is not tested so much)
* support multi level section, subsection name will just like: [firsub/secsub]
* can save config items order
* support multi data types: string, unicode, int, float, list/tuple, dict, etc,
you can save them to or regain them from config file
* can convert to dict '''new'''
* auto detect BOM of utf-8 file '''new'''
* It's a little module, just for my mind, so if you like, you could try it, but
if you don't like, just skip it, that's ok
Where can I download it?

What's new?
==============
* 2007/07/03 Version 0.9.2
* Add clear method
* Added encryption code thanks to Mayowa Akinyemi
using the secretKey parameter will encrypt the values using
Paul Rubin's p3.py encryption module
using the hideData parameter will perform base64 enc/dec of the values
* 2007/06/26 Version 0.9.1
* Fix float convert bug
* 2007/06/13 Version 0.9
* Thanks for Victor Stinner giving a output format patch, so you can define
your own output format "%s = %s" to anything you want, for example "%s=%s" or
"%s:%s". And Dict4Ini will auto remove '%s' from the fromat string, and the
strip() the rest of the string, then use it to split the key and value in Ini
file. For example, if you using "%s:%", Dict4Ini will get "%s:%s".replace('%s',
'').strip(), then use ':' to split the line.
* 2007/04/20 Version 0.8
* Add exception process when parsing file
* Add BOM detect
* 2007/04/19 Version 0.7
* Fix '\' escape
* 2006/03/21 Version 0.6
* Fix ordereditems bug.
* 2006/01/04 Version 0.5
* 2006/01/04
* Add ordereditems() method, so you can get the items according the ini file
definition
* 2005/12/30
* Support onelevel parameter, you can set it True, than only one level can be
used, so that the key can include section delimeter char in it.
* Support sectiondelimeter parmeter, you can set the section delimeter to
which you want
* 2005/12/12 Version 0.4
* Fixed a bug about "\" in option's value, thanks to Andreas Kaiser
* 2005/12/09 Version 0.3
* Adding dict() method, then you can change the DictIni object to dict type,
so you can really use it as a dict alternative
* 2005/10/16 Version 0.2
* Saving config items order
* Support float format
