What's the official way of storing settings for python programs?

Question

Django uses real Python files for settings, Trac uses a .ini file, and some other pieces of software uses XML files to hold this information.

Are one of these approa

Answer 1

One of the easiest ways which is use is using the json module. Save the file in config.json with the details as shown below.

Saving data in the json file:

{

    "john"  : {
        "number" : "948075049" , 
        "password":"thisisit" 
    }    
}

Reading from json file:

import json

#open the config.json file 

with open('config.json') as f:
    mydata = json.load(f) ; 

#Now mydata is a python dictionary 

print("username is " , mydata.get('john').get('number') , " password is " , mydata.get('john').get('password')) ;
