copied!<p>This is actually already done for you in <code>config._sections</code>. Example:</p> <pre><code>$ cat test.ini [First Section] var = value key = item [Second Section] othervar = othervalue otherkey = otheritem </code></pre> <p>And then:</p> <pre><code>>>> from ConfigParser import ConfigParser >>> config = ConfigParser() >>> config.read('test.ini') >>> config._sections {'First Section': {'var': 'value', '__name__': 'First Section', 'key': 'item'}, 'Second Section': {'__name__': 'Second Section', 'otherkey': 'otheritem', 'othervar': 'othervalue'}} >>> config._sections['First Section'] {'var': 'value', '__name__': 'First Section', 'key': 'item'} </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> My solution to the same problem was downvoted so I'll further illustrate how my answer does the same thing without having to pass the section thru <code>dict()</code>, because <code>config._sections</code> is <em>provided by the module for you already</em>.</p> <p><strong>Example test.ini:</strong></p> <pre><code>[db] dbname = testdb dbuser = test_user host = localhost password = abc123 port = 3306 </code></pre> <p>Magic happening:</p> <pre><code>>>> config.read('test.ini') ['test.ini'] >>> config._sections {'db': {'dbname': 'testdb', 'host': 'localhost', 'dbuser': 'test_user', '__name__': 'db', 'password': 'abc123', 'port': '3306'}} >>> connection_string = "dbname='%(dbname)s' user='%(dbuser)s' host='%(host)s' password='%(password)s' port='%(port)s'" >>> connection_string % config._sections['db'] "dbname='testdb' user='test_user' host='localhost' password='abc123' port='3306'" </code></pre> <p>So this solution is <strong>not</strong> wrong, and it actually requires one less step. Thanks for stopping by!</p>
