Here is an example to read config file in Python using ConfigParser library.
The following example will read the below mentioned config.ini file:
[sepwin] separateFrame=True lookandfeel=Generic [hms] workingdirectory=f:\hospora separateFrame=True lookandfeel=Generic width=1300 height=700 splashScreen=false form=hospital.fmx userid=hms/vinish@orcl [debug] serverURL=/forms/lservlet/debug [webutil] WebUtilArchive=frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar WebUtilLogging=off WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal WebUtilErrorMode=Alert WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval=5
Python Program to Read Config File Using ConfigParser Library
In the below Python program, it will read the above mentioned config.ini file. First, it will describe all the sections of the config file, and then it will read the configuration value for form under [hms] section, splashScreen value under [hms] section and WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval value under [webutil] section.
from configparser import ConfigParser
cfg = ConfigParser()
cfg.read('config.ini')
print('Sections in the file:', cfg.sections())
print('hms: form value: ', cfg.get('hms','form'))
print('hms: splashScreen value: ', cfg.getboolean('hms','splashScreen'))
print('webutil: WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval value: ', cfg.getint('webutil','WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval'))Output:
Sections in the file: ['sepwin', 'hms', 'debug', 'webutil'] hms: form value: hospital.fmx hms: splashScreen value: False webutil: WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval value: 5 Process finished with exit code 0
