Convert ConfigParser.items('') to dictionary

Question

How can I convert the result of a ConfigParser.items(\'section\') to a dictionary to format a string like here:

import ConfigParser

config = ConfigParser.Co         


        

Answer 1

In Python +3.6 you could do this

file.ini

[SECTION1]
one = 1
two = 2

[SECTION2]
foo = Hello
bar = World

[SECTION3]
param1 = parameter one
param2 = parameter two

file.py

import configparser

cfg = configparser.ConfigParser()
cfg.read('file.ini')
# Get one section in a dict
numbers = {k:v for k, v in cfg['SECTION1'].items()}

If you need all sections listed you should use cfg.sections()
