I don't think so. INI files are a collection of KEY=VALUE or KEY:VALUE pairs, and the example above shows nothing like that. The only thing which is even vaguely ini-like is the header [demo text starts], and my reading of that is that it is *not* part of the file, but just an indication that the OP is giving a demo. -- Steven D'Aprano http://import-that.dreamwidth.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
