iniparse is a INI parser for Python which is:
|
|
|
|
* Compatiable with ConfigParser: Backward compatible implementations of
|
|
ConfigParser, RawConfigParser, and SafeConfigParser are included that are API
|
|
compatible with the Python standard library. They pass all the unit tests
|
|
included with Python;
|
|
|
|
* Preserves structure of INI files: Order of sections & options, indentation,
|
|
comments, and blank lines are preserved as far as possible when data is
|
|
updated;
|
|
|
|
* More convenient: Values can be accessed using dotted notation
|
|
(cfg.user.name), or using container syntax (cfg['user']['name']);
|
|
|
|
It is very useful for config files that are updated both by users and by
|
|
programs, since it is very disorienting for a user to have her config file
|
|
completely rearranged whenever a program changes it. iniparse also allows making
|
|
the order of entries in a config file significant, which is desirable in
|
|
applications like image galleries.
