"""Configuration file parser.
A setup file consists of sections, lead by a "[section]" header,
and followed by "name: value" entries, with continuations and such in
the style of rfc822.
The option values can contain format strings which refer to other
values in the same section, or values in a special [DEFAULT] section.
For example:
something: %(dir)s/whatever
would resolve the "%(dir)s" to the value of dir. All reference
expansions are done late, on demand.
Intrinsic defaults can be specified by passing them into the
ConfigParser constructor as a dictionary.
class:
ConfigParser -- responsible for for parsing a list of
configuration files, and managing the parsed database.
methods:
__init__(defaults=None) -- create the parser and specify a
dictionary of intrinsic defaults. The
keys must be strings, the values must
be appropriate for %()s string
interpolation. Note that `name' is
always an intrinsic default; it's value
is the section's name.
sections() -- return all the configuration section names, sans DEFAULT
options(section) -- return list of configuration options for the named
section
read(*filenames) -- read and parse the list of named configuration files
get(section, option, raw=0) -- return a string value for the named
option. All % interpolations are
expanded in the return values, based on
the defaults passed into the constructor
and the DEFAULT section.
getint(section, options) -- like get(), but convert value to an integer
getfloat(section, options) -- like get(), but convert value to a float
getboolean(section, options) -- like get(), but convert value to
a boolean (currently defined as 0
or 1, only)
