Writing comments to files with ConfigParser

Question

How can one write comments to a given file within sections?

If I have:

import ConfigParser
with open(\'./config.ini\', \'w\') as f:
    conf = Config

You could also use ConfigUpdater. It has many more convenience options to update configuration files in a minimal invasive way.

You would basically do:

from configupdater import ConfigUpdater

updater = ConfigUpdater()
updater.add_section('DEFAULT')
updater.set('DEFAULT', 'test', 1)
updater['DEFAULT']['test'].add_before.comment('test comment', comment_prefix=';')
with open('./config.ini', 'w') as f:
    updater.write(f)
