Python-解析INI文本（不是INI文件）

Question

I have a case where I get a string version of an INI file and not the file itself. I am getting it this way from an external source and hence cannot be changed.

Example of the string version:

'[DEFAULT]\nScore = 0.1\n\n[dev]\nHost = abc.com\nPort = 0000\n\n[qa]\nHost = xyz.com\nEsPort = 1000\n\n[main]\nHost = pqr.com\nPort = 2000\n'

I tried parsing this string using the configParser library in python:

>>> config = configparser.ConfigParser()
>>> config.read(my_ini_str)
[]

I get back nothing with the read function. Is there any other way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE - Forgot to add that I am using Python 2.

Answer 1

This is what the read_string() method is for.

Parse configuration data from a string.

Hence:

>>> config = configparser.ConfigParser()
>>> config.read_string(my_ini_str)

Answer 2

you have to use read_string in order to parse a string.

then you have to use getters on "config" object, such as :

>>> config.get('dev', 'Host')
'abc.com'

or

>>> config.getfloat(config.default_section, 'Score')
0.1
