python-configparser-3.5.0b2-1.lbn19.noarch

The ancient ConfigParser module available in the standard library 2.x has seen a major update in Python 3.2. This is a backport of those changes so that they can be used directly in Python 2.6 - 2.7.

To use configparser instead of ConfigParser, simply replace:

import ConfigParser

with:

import configparser

For detailed documentation consult the vanilla version at http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/configparser.html. Why you'll love configparser

*

there's now one default ConfigParser class, which basically is the old SafeConfigParser with a bunch of tweaks which make it more predictable for users. Don't need interpolation? Simply use ConfigParser(interpolation=None), no need to use a distinct RawConfigParser anymore. *

the parser is highly customizable upon instantiation supporting things like changing option delimiters, comment characters, the name of the DEFAULT section, the interpolation syntax, etc. *

you can easily create your own interpolation syntax but there are two powerful implementations built-in (more info): o the classic %(string-like)s syntax (called BasicInterpolation) o a new ${buildout:like} syntax (called ExtendedInterpolation) *

ConfigParser objects can now read data directly from strings and from dictionaries. That means importing configuration from JSON or specifying default values for the whole configuration (multiple sections) is now a single line of code. Same goes for copying data from another ConfigParser instance, thanks to its mapping protocol support. *
