ConfigParserLoader

This python script contains some useful functions to use with Pythons ConfigParser

Example Code

Saving

This example will store the value 5 to the section settings as a variable called number.

from config_parser_loader import LoadSettings

loading = LoadSettings()
loading.save_settings("settings", "number", 5)

The output in the settings.dat file will look like this:

[settings]
number = 5

Loading

This example will reload the value we saved in the example above. Please note that you can define a fallback value (in our case thats 10) that will be loaded if the value is not found in the file. load_settings() checks if the loaded value is a literal instead of a string and converts it into a literal (e.g. loading a list).

from config_parser_loader import LoadSettings

loading = LoadSettings()
loading.open_settings("settings", "number", 10)
variable = loading.load_settings()
print(variable)

Deleting

This example will remove the value we loaded in the example above.

from config_parser_loader import LoadSettings

loading = LoadSettings()
loading.delete_settings("settings", "number")
