Does the Config file for the ConfigParser have to be named "Config.ini" in order to work?
I want the name to be "1Config.ini" so that it appears at the top of a folder dir.
This is what I have currently
config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
config.read(Revision[0:Revision.rfind('\\')] + "\1Config.ini")
Type = config.get("myvars", "Type")
I get this error however when the file and code is named "1Config.ini"
<class 'ConfigParser.NoSectionError'>: No section: 'myvars'
What's the output of the following? Make sure it's a valid file name.
>>> print Revision[0:Revision.rfind('\\')] + "\1Config.ini"
Ideally use os.path.join instead of concatenating strings:
import os
filename = os.path.join(Revision[0:Revision.rfind('\\')], "Config.ini")
config.read(filename)
You probably shouldn't name your variable Type, because type is a built-in function/module and it'd be confusing.
Type = config.get("myvars", "Type")
And no, config files can be named anything:
>>> a = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
>>> a.read("E:/Documents/2012/config.test") # where config.test is the example from the documentation
['E:/Documents/2012/config.test']
>>> a.sections()
['My Section']
>>> a.items(a.sections()[0])
[('foodir', 'frob/whatever'),
('dir', 'frob'),
('long', 'this value continues\nin the next line')]
