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
|
||
|
|
* String interpolation (substitution)
|
||
|
|
* Integrated with a powerful validation system
|
||
|
|
o including automatic type checking / conversion
|
||
|
|
o repeated sections
|
||
|
|
o and allowing default values
|
||
|
|
* When writing out config files, ConfigObj preserves all comments
|
||
|
|
and the order of members and sections
|
||
|
|
* Many useful methods and options for working with configuration files
|
||
|
|
(like the 'reload'
|
||
|
|
and 'merge' methods)
|
||
|
|
* Full Unicode support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This project is also the home of validate which handles the type
|
||
|
|
checking and conversion for ConfigObj. Support for validate is integrated
|
||
|
|
into ConfigObj, but it can also be used on its own for reading and implementing
|
||
|
|
validation specifications
