ConfigParser
— 配置文件剖析器
¶
注意
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.
此模块定义类
ConfigParser
。
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.
注意
This library does not interpret or write the value-type prefixes used in the Windows Registry extended version of INI syntax.

shlex
Support for creating Unix shell-like mini-languages which can be used as an alternate format for application configuration files.
json
The json module implements a subset of JavaScript syntax which can also be used for this purpose.
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.
例如:
[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.
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
为 true (默认:
False
), options without values are accepted; the value presented for these is
None
.
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.

ConfigParser

)
¶
Derived class of
RawConfigParser
that implements the magical interpolation feature and adds optional arguments to the
get()
and
items()
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 of
optionxform()
, the values
foo %(bar)s
and
foo %(BAR)s
are equivalent.

RawConfigParser
实例具有下列方法:
RawConfigParser.
defaults
(
)
¶
Return a dictionary containing the instance-wide defaults.
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 name
DEFAULT
(or any of it’s case-insensitive variants) is passed,
ValueError
被引发。
RawConfigParser.
has_section
(
section
)
¶
Indicates whether the named section is present in the configuration. The
DEFAULT
section is not acknowledged.
RawConfigParser.
选项
(
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
;否则返回
False
.
New in version 1.6.
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 using
readfp()
before calling
read()
for any optional files:
import ConfigParser, os config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() config.readfp(open('defaults.cfg')) config.read(['site.cfg', os.path.expanduser('~/.myapp.cfg')])
2.4 版改变: 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
拥有
name
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 以指定 section to an integer.
RawConfigParser.
getfloat
(
section
,
option
)
¶
A convenience method which coerces the option 以指定 section to a floating point number.
RawConfigParser.
getboolean
(
section
,
option
)
¶
A convenience method which coerces the
option
以指定
section
to a Boolean value. Note that the accepted values for the option are
"1"
,
"yes"
,
"true"
,和
"on"
, which cause this method to return
True
,和
"0"
,
"no"
,
"false"
,和
"off"
, which cause it to return
False
. These string values are checked in a case-insensitive manner. Any other value will cause it to raise
ValueError
.
RawConfigParser.
项
(
section
)
¶
返回列表化的
(name, value)
pairs for each option in the given
section
.
RawConfigParser.
set
(
section
,
option
,
值
)
¶
If the given section exists, set the given option to the specified value; otherwise raise
NoSectionError
. While it is possible to use
RawConfigParser
(或
ConfigParser
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.
New in version 1.6.
RawConfigParser.
write
(
fileobject
)
¶
Write a representation of the configuration to the specified file object. This representation can be parsed by a future
read()
调用。
New in version 1.6.
RawConfigParser.
remove_option
(
section
,
option
)
¶
Remove the specified
option
从指定
section
. If the section does not exist, raise
NoSectionError
. If the option existed to be removed, return
True
;否则返回
False
.
New in version 1.6.
RawConfigParser.
remove_section
(
section
)
¶
Remove the specified
section
from the configuration. If the section in fact existed, return
True
. Otherwise return
False
.
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()
被调用。
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 。若 vars is provided, it must be a dictionary. The option is looked up in vars (if provided), section , and in defaults in that order.
All the
'%'
interpolations are expanded in the return values, unless the
raw
argument is true. Values for interpolation keys are looked up in the same manner as the option.

写入配置文件的范例:
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)
An example of reading the configuration file again:
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!"
函数
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
。
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'
