I'm not able to pass the values of a list to a for loop which will return the value assigned to it in config file at runtime.
My config file is demo.ini:
[DEMFILE]
Name='XYZABC'
Surname='TYUIO'
Code='123'
City='Kolkata'
I have a list in which I have parameters like below:
from configparser import ConfigParser
mylist=['Name','Code']
mylist_count=len(mylist)
dmfg=config_object["DEMFILE"]
for i in range(mylist_count):
getValue=dmfg[i] # ---> Throws error
print(f'The value of {i} is : {getValue}')
Expected Output for getValue is as shown below:
The value of Name is : XYZABC
The value of City is : Kolkata
I want whatever the values in list that should check in config file and return the output assigned to it.
For example: Name --> XYZABC (coming from config file).
You can create an instance of the ConfigParser, read the .ini file and use the key rather than its index to retrieve the value:
Python 3.9.0 (tags/v3.9.0:9cf6752, Oct 5 2020, 15:34:40) [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
>>> from configparser import ConfigParser
>>> config = ConfigParser()
>>> config.read("demo.ini")
['demo.ini']
>>> keys = ["Name", "Code"]
>>> vals = [config["DEMFILE"][x] for x in keys]
>>> vals
["'XYZABC'", "'123'"]
If the quotes seem odd, config values typically aren't quoted. Either remove the quotes from the config or strip them with [x[1:-1] for x in vals].
