Simplifies and enchances functionalities in Python's ConfigParser

Project description

SimpleConfigParser

https://travis-ci.org/helgi/python-simpleconfigparser.png

Builds on top of the builtin SafeConfigParser but adds various convenience functionalities.

  • Access to all the usual ConfigParser functionality

  • Access sections and items via convience objects and dicts instead of get()

  • Makes accessing items and section via dicts possible on Python 2.7+, ConfigParser has that from Python 3.2 onwards as a default

  • Ability to set values via the objects config.section.item = 'demmmmm' and dicts config['section']['item'] all while write() still work as normal

  • Make a few functions work directly from the section object config.section.items(), config.section.getboolean('item')

  • Strips any quotes on the edgeds of items used in the INI file instead of returning it as part of the values

  • Improve the defaults handling on the object to be more sensible

defaults = {
    'section': {
        'item1': 'boo',
        'item2': 'bar'
    }
}

config = simpleconfigparser(defaults=defaults)

Examples

contents of read.ini:

[app]
debug = yes

test.py:

from simpleconfigparser import simpleconfigparser

config = simpleconfigparser()
config.read('read.ini')

print(config.app.debug)
print(config.app.getboolean('debug'))
print(config['app']['debug'])
print(config['app'].getboolean('debug'))
config.app.debug = no
with open('new.ini', 'wb') as handle:
    config.write(handle)
