如何读取configparser中某个部分下的所有单词？

Question

I'm reading from a file which has a section structured like this:

[name]
John
Mary
Ben
John

Note that there are no keys.

How to read those values with ConfigParser?

Thanks

Answer 1

You should create your ConfigParser with the keyword argument allow_no_value set to True . Also you need to remove the duplication in your file (John appears twice).

config = configparser.ConfigParser(allow_no_value=True)
config.read("config_file_name")

for name in config["name"]:
    print(name)

Output:

John
Mary
Ben

If you need the duplications in the name section, you will have to inherit the ConfigParser class and override that limitation.

Side note:

Consider using a JSON or YAML instead of an ini file for such task, it will make your life much easier
