These example below is for properties stuff
basic example

the test.ini file is empty

test.py:

from iniparser2 import INI

x = INI('test.ini')
x.set('name','Mike Hawk')

and the test.ini file would be like this

name=Mike Hawk

it would update the value of the property if there's an existing property inside the file

to unset property test.py:

from iniparser2 import INI

x = INI('test.ini')
x.unset('name')

and the property would be gone!
