Config file reading, writing and validation.
Project description
ConfigObj is a simple but powerful config file reader and writer: an ini file round tripper. Its main feature is that it is very easy to use, with a straightforward programmer’s interface and a simple syntax for config files. It has lots of other features though :
Nested sections (subsections), to any level
List values
Multiple line values
Full Unicode support
String interpolation (substitution)
Integrated with a powerful validation system
including automatic type checking/conversion
and allowing default values
repeated sections
All comments in the file are preserved
The order of keys/sections is preserved
Full Unicode support
Powerful unrepr mode for storing/retrieving Python data-types
Release 4.4.0 has the following changes from 4.3.2 :
Made the import of compiler conditional so that ConfigObj can be used with IronPython.
Fix for Python 2.5 compatibility.
String interpolation will now check the current section before checking
DEFAULT sections. Based on a patch by Robin Munn.
Added Template-style interpolation, with tests, based on a patch by Robin Munn.
