"""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 RFC 822.
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
has_section(section)
return whether the given section exists
options(section)
return list of configuration options for the named section
has_option(section, option)
return whether the given section has the given option
read(filenames)
read and parse the list of named configuration files, given by
name. A single filename is also allowed. Non-existing files
are ignored.
readfp(fp, filename=None)
read and parse one configuration file, given as a file object.
The filename defaults to fp.name; it is only used in error
messages (if fp has no `name' attribute, the string `<???>' is used).
get(section, option, raw=0, vars=None)
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. Additional substitutions may be
provided using the `vars' argument, which must be a dictionary whose
contents override any pre-existing defaults.
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)
