Method Details

add_section(self, section)

Create a new section in the configuration.

Raise DuplicateSectionError if a section by the specified name
already exists.

has_option(self, section, option)

Check for the existence of a given option in a given section.

has_section(self, section)

Indicate whether the named section is present in the configuration.

The DEFAULT section is not acknowledged.

options(self, section)

Return a list of option names for the given section name.

read(self, filenames)

Read and parse a filename or a list of filenames.

Files that cannot be opened are silently ignored; this is
designed so that you can specify a list of potential
configuration file locations (e.g. current directory, user's
home directory, systemwide directory), and all existing
configuration files in the list will be read.  A single
filename may also be given.

Return list of successfully read files.

readfp(self, fp, filename=None)

Like read() but the argument must be a file-like object.

The `fp' argument must have a `readline' method.  Optional
second argument is the `filename', which if not given, is
taken from fp.name.  If fp has no `name' attribute, `<???>' is
used.

remove_option(self, section, option)

Remove an option.

remove_section(self, section)

Remove a file section.

sections(self)

Return a list of section names, excluding [DEFAULT]

set(self, section, option, value)

Set an option.

write(self, fp)

Write an .ini-format representation of the configuration state.

_read(self, fp, fpname)

Parse a sectioned setup file.

The sections in setup file contains a title line at the top,
indicated by a name in square brackets (`[]'), plus key/value
options lines, indicated by `name: value' format lines.
Continuations are represented by an embedded newline then
leading whitespace.  Blank lines, lines beginning with a '#',
and just about everything else are ignored.
