Parsing configure file with same section name in python

Question

I try to parse file like:

[account]
User = first

[account]
User = second

I use ConfigParser in Python, but when i read file:

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the format of the provided ini file is not correct according standards. A section's name must be unique in the document.

If you can change the file-format (I already read that you cannot, but for completeness...), then a solution like this would be appropriate:

[accounts]
keys= account1, account2

[account1]
User = first

[account2]
User = second

If you really can't alternate the file's format, then I fear that your only option is to parse manually the configuration file.
