Hello,
I have a very simple ini file that I needs parsed. What is the best way I
can parse an ini file that doesn't include sections?
As in:
Since it appears that ConfigParser requires at least one section
header, I'll assume the file starts with the following line:
[main]
person=tall
height=small
shoes=big
Thats it. Can anyone help me?
Completely untested:
import ConfigParser
config = ConfigParser.RawConfigParser()
config.readfp(open("path/to/file.cfg"))
config.get("main", "height") #==> "small"
Cheers,
Chris
Of course the OP question was that the line you assume isn't there. But
if the ini is simple, maybe it is short enough to read into a string,
then prepend the line, then parse with ConfigParser.
