I am using ConfigParser
to read the runtime configuration of a script.
I would like to have the flexibility of not providing a section name (there are scripts which are simple enough; they don't need a 'section'). ConfigParser
will throw a NoSectionError
exception, and will not accept the file.
How can I make ConfigParser simply retrieve the (key, value)
tuples of a config file without section names?
For instance:
key1=val1
key2:val2
I would rather not write to the config file.
Alex Martelli provided a solution for using ConfigParser
to parse .properties
files (which are apparently section-less config files).
His solution is a file-like wrapper that will automagically insert a dummy section heading to satisfy ConfigParser
's requirements.
