Hello

I have an .ini (settings file) which contains following:

[section1]
item1=value
item2=value

[section2]
item3=value

I put the "test.ini" and the "configobj.py" files in "E:\".

I then run the following script (iniread.py):

import sys
sys.path.append("E:\\")
import configobj
from configobj import ConfigObj

config = ConfigObj("test.ini")

section = config['section2']
value = section['item3']

print 'item3 : ' + value

But I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\private\2000b1a5\default.py", line 81, in menu_action
f()
File "C:\private\2000b1a5\default.py", line 65, in query_and_exec
execfile(script_list[index][1]. encode('utf-8'), script_namespace. namespace)
File "C:\python\iniread.py", line 8, in ?
section = config['section2']
File "E:\configobj.py", line 580, in __getitem__
val = dict.__getitem__(self, key)
KeyError: section2

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I see the value of item3?

I also want to know how to read a file that is not in the same folder as configobj.py I tried with E:\\foldername\test.ini but I got a parse error in configobj.py...

Thank you

I lose the module. :-(
Can you link it for me?

Thanks.

Yes, I found it over at sourceforge here is the link:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/configobj

I just took the configobj.py file and put it in E:\

The code I am using is pretty the same as the one in their example but I don't get why it won't work for me :\
