I'm trying to change settings on my config.ini

[config]
username = foo
password = bar

How do I configure my configparser config.ini using a web interface?

Answer 1

Your question is not very clear but I'll try to answer it anyway.

Webinterface

It's out of scope of a SO answer to show completely how to create a webinterface but as a starting point I'd recommend to walk through this Django tutorial .

Read/Write a config file

Write your config.ini using configparser:

$ python3
Python 3.7.5 (default, Nov  1 2019, 02:16:32)
>>> import configparser
>>> config = configparser.ConfigParser()
>>> 
>>> config['config'] = {'username': 'foo', 'password': 'bar'}
>>> with open('config.ini', 'w') as configfile:
...     config.write(configfile)
>>> 

Read your config.ini using configparser:

$ python3
Python 3.7.5 (default, Nov  1 2019, 02:16:32)
>>> import configparser
>>> config = configparser.ConfigParser()
... config.read('config.ini')
['example.ini']
>>> 
>>> # list sections
... config.sections()
['config']
>>> 
>>> # check if a section exists
... 'config' in config
True
>>> 
>>> # check if field exists in a section
... 'username' in config['config']
True
>>>
>>> # get value of a field in a section
... config['config']['username']
'foo'
>>>
>>> # List all fields in a section
... for key in config['config']:
...     print(key)
...
username
password
>>>
