Process config file as a dict

Project description

What's it features
====================

* as simple as others
* you can access options according to dict syntax, just like x['name']['o'] = 1,
x['name'].keys(), x['name'].values(), etc.
* you also can access options according to attr syntax, just like x.name.o = 1,
x.name.keys(), x.name.values(), etc. So the name must be Identifier or single
word.
* you can save comments in it(but this feature is not tested so much)
* support multi level section, subsection name will just like: [firsub/secsub]
* can save config items order
* support multi data types: string, unicode, int, float, list/tuple, dict, etc,
you can save them to or regain them from config file
* can convert to dict '''new'''
* auto detect BOM of utf-8 file '''new'''
* It's a little module, just for my mind, so if you like, you could try it, but
if you don't like, just skip it, that's ok

* Add iterator support, and you can use `for i in ini` to iterator (key,value)
now
* Add 'in' test support, so you can test if a key is in a ini via `key in

* 2007/09/17 Version 0.9.2.4

* 2007/07/09 Version 0.9.2.1 thanks to Mayowa Akinyemi

hideData only section names listed in the secretSections parameter will be
encrypted

* 2007/07/03 Version 0.9.2

* Add clear method
* Added encryption code thanks to Mayowa Akinyemi using the secretKey
parameter will encrypt the values using Paul Rubin's p3.py encryption module
using the hideData parameter will perform base64 enc/dec of the values

* Fix float convert bug

* 2007/06/13 Version 0.9

* Thanks for Victor Stinner giving a output format patch, so you can define
your own output format "%s = %s" to anything you want, for example "%s=%s" or
"%s:%s". And Dict4Ini will auto remove '%s' from the fromat string, and the
strip() the rest of the string, then use it to split the key and value in Ini
file. For example, if you using "%s:%", Dict4Ini will get "%s:%s".replace('%s',
'').strip(), then use ':' to split the line.
