A command-line tool to extract, normalize, and JSONify values from an iniherit-enabled "INI" file.
Project description
A command-line tool to extract, normalize, and JSONify values from an iniherit -enabled “INI” file.
Installation
$ pip install iniget
Usage
Given the following two files, base.ini:
[sect1]
foo = bar
and config.ini:
[DEFAULT]
%inherit = base.ini
The following will extract the inherited foo value:
$ iniget config.ini sect1 foo
bar
Much more is possible, including:
listing sections
listing options
JSON-encoding the configuration
JSON-interpreting option values
Control case-sensitivity, interpolation, and default values
Options
-s SECTION, --section SECTION:
Specify additional sections to extract from; can be specified multiple times to add multiple sections.
-C, --no-case:
Handle option names case insensitively.
-I, --no-inherit:
Disable processing of “%inherit” directives.
-E, --no-expansion:
Disable ConfigParser option expansion (“interpolation”).
-K, --list-options:
List the option names only, not the values.
-S, --list-sections:
List the section names only.
-J, --json-parse:
If option values are JSON-parseable, parse as such; additionally, the following are interpreted as boolean values: ‘yes’, ‘true’, ‘on’, ‘off’, ‘no’, ‘false’.
-j, --json-output:
Render the output using JSON syntax.
-d JSON, --defaults JSON:
Set the ConfigParser default values from this JSON-parsed dictionary.
-r, --raw:
Don’t do anything fancy: show exactly what ConfigParser interprets (requires exactly one section and one option); note that options “–no-case”, “–no-inherit”, “–no-expansion” and “–defaults” are still honored, but “–json-parse” is not.
