13.2. ConfigParser
— Configuration file parser¶
注解
The ConfigParser
module has been renamed to configparser
in
Python 3. The 2to3 tool will automatically adapt imports when
converting your sources to Python 3.
This module defines the class ConfigParser
. The ConfigParser
class implements a basic configuration file parser language which provides a
structure similar to what you would find on Microsoft Windows INI files. You
can use this to write Python programs which can be customized by end users
easily.

这个库 并不 能够解析或写入在 Windows Registry 扩展版本 INI 语法中所使用的值-类型前缀。
The configuration file consists of sections, led by a [section]
header and
followed by name: value
entries, with continuations in the style of
RFC 822 (see section 3.1.1, “LONG HEADER FIELDS”); name=value
is also
accepted. Note that leading whitespace is removed from values. The optional
values can contain format strings which refer to other values in the same
section, or values in a special DEFAULT
section. Additional defaults can be
provided on initialization and retrieval. Lines beginning with '#'
or
';'
are ignored and may be used to provide comments.
Configuration files may include comments, prefixed by specific characters (#
and ;
). Comments may appear on their own in an otherwise empty line, or may
be entered in lines holding values or section names. In the latter case, they
need to be preceded by a whitespace character to be recognized as a comment.
(For backwards compatibility, only ;
starts an inline comment, while #
does not.)
On top of the core functionality, SafeConfigParser
supports
interpolation. This means values can contain format strings which refer to
other values in the same section, or values in a special DEFAULT
section.
Additional defaults can be provided on initialization.
For example:
[My Section]
foodir: %(dir)s/whatever
dir=frob
long: this value continues
in the next line
would resolve the %(dir)s
to the value of dir
(frob
in this case).
All reference expansions are done on demand.
Default values can be specified by passing them into the ConfigParser
constructor as a dictionary. Additional defaults may be passed into the
get()
method which will override all others.
Sections are normally stored in a built-in dictionary. An alternative dictionary
type can be passed to the ConfigParser
constructor. For example, if a
dictionary type is passed that sorts its keys, the sections will be sorted on
write-back, as will be the keys within each section.

class
ConfigParser.
RawConfigParser
([defaults[, dict_type[, allow_no_value]]])¶ The basic configuration object. When defaults is given, it is initialized into the dictionary of intrinsic defaults. When dict_type is given, it will be used to create the dictionary objects for the list of sections, for the options within a section, and for the default values. When allow_no_value is true (default:
False
), options without values are accepted; the value presented for these isNone
.This class does not support the magical interpolation behavior.
All option names are passed through the
optionxform()
method. Its default implementation converts option names to lower case.2.3 新版功能.
在 2.6 版更改: dict_type was added.
在 2.7 版更改: The default dict_type is
collections.OrderedDict
. allow_no_value was added.

ConfigParser.
ConfigParser
([defaults[, dict_type[, allow_no_value]]])¶ Derived class of
RawConfigParser
that implements the magical interpolation feature and adds optional arguments to theget()
anditems()
methods. The values in defaults must be appropriate for the%()s
string interpolation. Note that __name__ is an intrinsic default; its value is the section name, and will override any value provided in defaults.All option names used in interpolation will be passed through the
optionxform()
method just like any other option name reference. Using the default implementation ofoptionxform()
, the valuesfoo %(bar)s
andfoo %(BAR)s
are equivalent.2.3 新版功能.
在 2.6 版更改: dict_type was added.
在 2.7 版更改: The default dict_type is
collections.OrderedDict
. allow_no_value was added.

SafeConfigParser
([defaults[, dict_type[, allow_no_value]]])¶ Derived class of
ConfigParser
that implements a more-sane variant of the magical interpolation feature. This implementation is more predictable as well. New applications should prefer this version if they don’t need to be compatible with older versions of Python.2.3 新版功能.
在 2.6 版更改: dict_type was added.
在 2.7 版更改: The default dict_type is

13.2.1. RawConfigParser 对象¶
RawConfigParser
instances have the following methods:
-
RawConfigParser.
defaults
()¶ 返回包含实例范围内默认值的字典。
-
RawConfigParser.
sections
()¶ Return a list of the sections available;
DEFAULT
is not included in the list.
-
RawConfigParser.
add_section
(section)¶ Add a section named section to the instance. If a section by the given name already exists,
DuplicateSectionError
is raised. If the nameDEFAULT
(or any of it’s case-insensitive variants) is passed,ValueError
is raised.
-
RawConfigParser.
has_section
(section)¶ Indicates whether the named section is present in the configuration. The
DEFAULT
section is not acknowledged.
-
RawConfigParser.
options
(section)¶ Returns a list of options available in the specified section.
-
RawConfigParser.
has_option
(section, option)¶ If the given section exists, and contains the given option, return
True
; otherwise returnFalse
.1.6 新版功能.
-
RawConfigParser.
read
(filenames)¶ Attempt to read and parse a list of filenames, returning a list of filenames which were successfully parsed. If filenames is a string or Unicode string, it is treated as a single filename. If a file named in filenames cannot be opened, that file will be ignored. This is designed so that you can specify a list of potential configuration file locations (for example, the current directory, the user’s home directory, and some system-wide directory), and all existing configuration files in the list will be read. If none of the named files exist, the
ConfigParser
instance will contain an empty dataset. An application which requires initial values to be loaded from a file should load the required file or files usingreadfp()
before callingread()
for any optional files:import ConfigParser, os config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() config.readfp(open('defaults.cfg')) config.read(['site.cfg', os.path.expanduser('~/.myapp.cfg')])
在 2.4 版更改: Returns list of successfully parsed filenames.
-
RawConfigParser.
readfp
(fp[, filename])¶ Read and parse configuration data from the file or file-like object in fp (only the
readline()
method is used). If filename is omitted and fp has aname
attribute, that is used for filename; the default is<???>
.
-
RawConfigParser.
get
(section, option)¶ Get an option value for the named section.
-
RawConfigParser.
getint
(section, option)¶ A convenience method which coerces the option in the specified section to an integer.
-
RawConfigParser.
getfloat
(section, option)¶ A convenience method which coerces the option in the specified section to a floating point number.
-
RawConfigParser.
getboolean
(section, option)¶ A convenience method which coerces the option in the specified section to a Boolean value. Note that the accepted values for the option are
"1"
,"yes"
,"true"
, and"on"
, which cause this method to returnTrue
, and"0"
,"no"
,"false"
, and"off"
, which cause it to returnFalse
. These string values are checked in a case-insensitive manner. Any other value will cause it to raiseValueError
.
-
RawConfigParser.
items
(section)¶ Return a list of
(name, value)
pairs for each option in the given section.
-
RawConfigParser.
set
(section, option, value)¶ If the given section exists, set the given option to the specified value; otherwise raise
NoSectionError
. While it is possible to useRawConfigParser
(orConfigParser
with raw parameters set to true) for internal storage of non-string values, full functionality (including interpolation and output to files) can only be achieved using string values.1.6 新版功能.
-
RawConfigParser.
write
(fileobject)¶ Write a representation of the configuration to the specified file object. This representation can be parsed by a future
read()
call.1.6 新版功能.
-
RawConfigParser.
remove_option
(section, option)¶ Remove the specified option from the specified section. If the section does not exist, raise
NoSectionError
. If the option existed to be removed, returnTrue
; otherwise returnFalse
.1.6 新版功能.
-
RawConfigParser.
remove_section
(section)¶ Remove the specified section from the configuration. If the section in fact existed, return
True
. Otherwise returnFalse
.
-
RawConfigParser.
optionxform
(option)¶ Transforms the option name option as found in an input file or as passed in by client code to the form that should be used in the internal structures. The default implementation returns a lower-case version of option; subclasses may override this or client code can set an attribute of this name on instances to affect this behavior.
You don’t necessarily need to subclass a ConfigParser to use this method, you can also re-set it on an instance, to a function that takes a string argument. Setting it to
str
, for example, would make option names case sensitive:cfgparser = ConfigParser() ... cfgparser.optionxform = str
Note that when reading configuration files, whitespace around the option names are stripped before
optionxform()
is called.
13.2.2. ConfigParser 对象¶
The ConfigParser
class extends some methods of the
RawConfigParser
interface, adding some optional arguments.
-
ConfigParser.
get
(section, option[, raw[, vars]])¶ Get an option value for the named section. If vars is provided, it must be a dictionary. The option is looked up in vars (if provided), section, and in defaults in that order.
所有
'%'
插值会在返回值中被展开,除非 raw 参数为真值。 插值键所使用的值会按与选项相同的方式来查找。
13.2.3. SafeConfigParser Objects¶
The SafeConfigParser
class implements the same extended interface as
ConfigParser
, with the following addition:
-
SafeConfigParser.
set
(section, option, value)¶ If the given section exists, set the given option to the specified value; otherwise raise
NoSectionError
. value must be a string (str
orunicode
); if not,TypeError
is raised.2.4 新版功能.
13.2.4. Examples¶
一个写入配置文件的示例:
import ConfigParser
config = ConfigParser.RawConfigParser()
# When adding sections or items, add them in the reverse order of
# how you want them to be displayed in the actual file.
# In addition, please note that using RawConfigParser's and the raw
# mode of ConfigParser's respective set functions, you can assign
# non-string values to keys internally, but will receive an error
# when attempting to write to a file or when you get it in non-raw
# mode. SafeConfigParser does not allow such assignments to take place.
config.add_section('Section1')
config.set('Section1', 'an_int', '15')
config.set('Section1', 'a_bool', 'true')
config.set('Section1', 'a_float', '3.1415')
config.set('Section1', 'baz', 'fun')
config.set('Section1', 'bar', 'Python')
config.set('Section1', 'foo', '%(bar)s is %(baz)s!')
# Writing our configuration file to 'example.cfg'
with open('example.cfg', 'wb') as configfile:
config.write(configfile)
一个再次读取配置文件的示例:
import ConfigParser
config = ConfigParser.RawConfigParser()
config.read('example.cfg')
# getfloat() raises an exception if the value is not a float
# getint() and getboolean() also do this for their respective types
a_float = config.getfloat('Section1', 'a_float')
an_int = config.getint('Section1', 'an_int')
print a_float + an_int
# Notice that the next output does not interpolate '%(bar)s' or '%(baz)s'.
# This is because we are using a RawConfigParser().
if config.getboolean('Section1', 'a_bool'):
print config.get('Section1', 'foo')
To get interpolation, you will need to use a ConfigParser
or
SafeConfigParser
:
import ConfigParser
config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
config.read('example.cfg')
# Set the third, optional argument of get to 1 if you wish to use raw mode.
print config.get('Section1', 'foo', 0) # -> "Python is fun!"
print config.get('Section1', 'foo', 1) # -> "%(bar)s is %(baz)s!"
# The optional fourth argument is a dict with members that will take
# precedence in interpolation.
print config.get('Section1', 'foo', 0, {'bar': 'Documentation',
'baz': 'evil'})
Defaults are available in all three types of ConfigParsers. They are used in interpolation if an option used is not defined elsewhere.
import ConfigParser
# New instance with 'bar' and 'baz' defaulting to 'Life' and 'hard' each
config = ConfigParser.SafeConfigParser({'bar': 'Life', 'baz': 'hard'})
config.read('example.cfg')
print config.get('Section1', 'foo') # -> "Python is fun!"
config.remove_option('Section1', 'bar')
config.remove_option('Section1', 'baz')
print config.get('Section1', 'foo') # -> "Life is hard!"
The function opt_move
below can be used to move options between sections:
def opt_move(config, section1, section2, option):
try:
config.set(section2, option, config.get(section1, option, 1))
except ConfigParser.NoSectionError:
# Create non-existent section
config.add_section(section2)
opt_move(config, section1, section2, option)
else:
config.remove_option(section1, option)
Some configuration files are known to include settings without values, but which
otherwise conform to the syntax supported by ConfigParser
. The
allow_no_value parameter to the constructor can be used to indicate that such
values should be accepted:
>>> import ConfigParser
>>> import io
>>> sample_config = """
... [mysqld]
... user = mysql
... pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
... skip-external-locking
... old_passwords = 1
... skip-bdb
... skip-innodb
... """
>>> config = ConfigParser.RawConfigParser(allow_no_value=True)
>>> config.readfp(io.BytesIO(sample_config))
>>> # Settings with values are treated as before:
>>> config.get("mysqld", "user")
'mysql'
>>> # Settings without values provide None:
>>> config.get("mysqld", "skip-bdb")
>>> # Settings which aren't specified still raise an error:
>>> config.get("mysqld", "does-not-exist")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ConfigParser.NoOptionError: No option 'does-not-exist' in section: 'mysqld'
