I'm just wondering. Is there any chance to create section in *.ini file to store only values without keys? I'm to store list of used ports in localhost and other servers and my list looks like this:
[servers]
localhost:1111
localhost:2222
localhost:3333
someserver:2222
someserver:3333
For now python treats server name as a key and port as value. But worst thing is that calling
print config.items('servers')
Returns me only this:
localhost:3333
someserver:3333
which is wrong, but I could handle it by replacing : in config but still section needs key for values. Any idea how to do it right?
You could store the servers in a comma separated list,
[servers]
server_list = localhost:1111, localhost:2222, localhost:3333, someserver:2222, someserver:3333
the read it into a list like
from ConfigParser import ConfigParser
cp = ConfigParser()
cp.read('derp.config')
print cp.items('servers')[0][1].split(', ')
which outputs
['localhost:1111', 'localhost:2222', 'localhost:3333', 'someserver:2222', 'someserver:3333']
