iniconfig: brain-dead simple parsing of ini files

iniconfig is a small and simple INI-file parser module having a unique set of features:

• maintains order of sections and entries

• supports multi-line values with or without line-continuations

• supports “#” comments everywhere

• raises errors with proper line-numbers

• no bells and whistles like automatic substitutions

• iniconfig raises an Error if two sections have the same name.

If you encounter issues or have feature wishes please report them to:

Basic Example

If you have an ini file like this:

# content of example.ini
[section1] # comment
name1=value1  # comment
name1b=value1,value2  # comment

[section2]
name2=
    line1
    line2

then you can do:

>>> import iniconfig
>>> ini = iniconfig.IniConfig("example.ini")
>>> ini['section1']['name1'] # raises KeyError if not exists
'value1'
>>> ini.get('section1', 'name1b', [], lambda x: x.split(","))
['value1', 'value2']
>>> ini.get('section1', 'notexist', [], lambda x: x.split(","))
[]
>>> [x.name for x in list(ini)]
['section1', 'section2']
>>> list(list(ini)[0].items())
[('name1', 'value1'), ('name1b', 'value1,value2')]
>>> 'section1' in ini
True
>>> 'inexistendsection' in ini
False
