Python: How would you save a simple settings/config file?

Question

I don\'t care if it\'s JSON, pickle, YAML, or whatever.

All other implementations I have seen are not forwards compatible, so

Answer 1

Try using ReadSettings:

from readsettings import ReadSettings
data = ReadSettings("settings.json") # Load or create any json, yml, yaml or toml file
data["name"] = "value" # Set "name" to "value"
data["name"] # Returns: "value"
