Closing file opened by ConfigParser

Question

I have the following:

config = ConfigParser()
config.read(\'connections.cfg\')
sections = config.sections()

How can I close the file opened

Answer 1

To test your suspicion, use ConfigParser.readfp() and handle opening and closing of the file by yourself. Make the readfp call after the changes are made.

config = ConfigParser()
#...on each change
fp = open('connections.cfg')
config.readfp(fp)
fp.close()
sections = config.sections()
