ConfigParser

Python 3.11

The main configuration parser. When defaults is given, it is initialized into the dictionary of intrinsic defaults. When dict_type is given, it will be used to create the dictionary objects for the list of sections, for the options within a section, and for the default values.

Syntax

PYTHON

class configparser.ConfigParser(defaults=None, dict_type=dict, allow_no_value=False, delimiters=('=', ':'), comment_prefixes=('', ';'), inline_comment_prefixes=None, strict=True, empty_lines_in_values=True, default_section=configparser.DEFAULTSECT, interpolation=BasicInterpolation(), converters={})

Examples

Example 1

config.read(['site.cfg', os.path.expanduser('~/.myapp.cfg')],
            encoding='cp1250')

Example 2

PYTHON

cfgparser = ConfigParser()
cfgparser.optionxform = str
