David Scherer7aced172000-08-15 01:13:23 +00001"""Configuration file parser.
2
3A setup file consists of sections, lead by a "[section]" header,
4and followed by "name: value" entries, with continuations and such in
5the style of RFC 822.
6
7The option values can contain format strings which refer to other values in
8the same section, or values in a special [DEFAULT] section.
9
10For example:
11
12 something: %(dir)s/whatever
13
14would resolve the "%(dir)s" to the value of dir. All reference
15expansions are done late, on demand.
16
17Intrinsic defaults can be specified by passing them into the
18ConfigParser constructor as a dictionary.
19
20class:
21
22ConfigParser -- responsible for for parsing a list of
23 configuration files, and managing the parsed database.
24
25 methods:
26
27 __init__(defaults=None)
28 create the parser and specify a dictionary of intrinsic defaults. The
29 keys must be strings, the values must be appropriate for %()s string
30 interpolation. Note that `__name__' is always an intrinsic default;
31 it's value is the section's name.
32
33 sections()
34 return all the configuration section names, sans DEFAULT
35
36 has_section(section)
37 return whether the given section exists
38
39 options(section)
40 return list of configuration options for the named section
41
42 has_option(section, option)
43 return whether the given section has the given option
44
45 read(filenames)
46 read and parse the list of named configuration files, given by
47 name. A single filename is also allowed. Non-existing files
48 are ignored.
49
50 readfp(fp, filename=None)
51 read and parse one configuration file, given as a file object.
52 The filename defaults to fp.name; it is only used in error
53 messages (if fp has no `name' attribute, the string `<???>' is used).
54
55 get(section, option, raw=0, vars=None)
56 return a string value for the named option. All % interpolations are
57 expanded in the return values, based on the defaults passed into the
58 constructor and the DEFAULT section. Additional substitutions may be
59 provided using the `vars' argument, which must be a dictionary whose
60 contents override any pre-existing defaults.
61
62 getint(section, options)
63 like get(), but convert value to an integer
64
65 getfloat(section, options)
66 like get(), but convert value to a float
67
68 getboolean(section, options)
69 like get(), but convert value to a boolean (currently defined as 0 or
70 1, only)
