5.7.1 ConfigParser Objects

ConfigParser instances have the following methods:

sections (): Return a list of the sections available; DEFAULT is not included in the list.

add_section (section): Add a section named section to the instance. If a section by the given name already exists, DuplicateSectionError is raised.

has_section (section): Indicates whether the named section is present in the configuration. The DEFAULT section is not acknowledged.

options (section): Returns a list of options available in the specified section.

has_option (section, option): If the given section exists, and contains the given option. return 1; otherwise return 0. (New in 1.6)

read (filenames): Read and parse a list of filenames. If filenames is a string or Unicode string, it is treated as a single filename.

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 a name attribute, that is used for filename; the default is "<???>".

get (section, option[, raw[, vars]]): Get an option value for the provided section. All the "%" interpolations are expanded in the return values, based on the defaults passed into the constructor, as well as the options vars provided, unless the raw argument is true.

getint (section, option): A convenience method which coerces the option in the specified section to an integer.

getfloat (section, option): A convenience method which coerces the option in the specified section to a floating point number.

getboolean (section, option): A convenience method which coerces the option in the specified section to a boolean value. Note that the only accepted values for the option are "0" and "1", any others will raise ValueError.

set (section, option, value): If the given section exists, set the given option to the specified value; otherwise raise NoSectionError. (New in 1.6)

write (fileobject): Write a representation of the configuration to the specified file object. This representation can be parsed by a future read() call. (New in 1.6)

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, return 1; otherwise return 0. (New in 1.6)

remove_section (section): Remove the specified section from the configuration. If the section in fact existed, return 1. Otherwise return 0.
