sftpConfigReader 1.0.0

SFTP configuration reader

sftpConfigReader

Intro

sftpConfigReader is a tiny package that reads SFTP client configuration settings stored in *.ini configuration file.

I created this package for convenience when working on an application that was using Paramiko SFTP library: http://www.paramiko.org/

Example:

Suppose your SFTP client configuration file is stored in /home/johndoe/.sftp/some_sftp_server/config.ini.

[sftp]
sftp_host=localhost
port=22
user=john
password=helloJohn
known_hosts=/home/john/.ssh/known_hosts

You want your Python application to access the SFTP connection settings.

from sftpConfigReader import read_sftp_config

conf_file = r'home/johndoe/.sftp/some_sftp_server/config.ini'
settings_dict = read_sftp_config(conf_file, 'sftp')

If the path to the configuration file and the section name are correct, then settings_dict variable is going to contain SFTP settings dictionary.
