无法使用 configparser 从 .ini 文件中读取

Question

I recently started learning python and I'm getting this issue where, using configparser to read a key from an ini file, it keep raising a key error.

I have two files:

weather.py

import configparser

def get_api_key():
    config = configparser.ConfigParser()
    config.read('config.ini')
    return config['openweathermap']['api_key']

print(get_api_key())

and config.ini

[openweathermap]
api_key=e53647dc71abcf81c779b83f1a8807c1

both files are placed in the same folder.

using print(get_api_key()) gives me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "...\weather.py", line 8, in <module>
    print(get_api_key())
  File "...\weather.py", line 6, in get_api_key
    return config['openweathermap']['api_key']
  File "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\configparser.py", line 964, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'openweathermap'

Would it be possible to get some help? Thanks in advance.

Edit : "balderman" asked me to show that both files are in the same directory,so I cd 'd into the folder and used ls :

Mode                 LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                 -------------         ------ ----
d-----         13-Nov-21     22:31                __pycache__
-a----         13-Nov-21     23:03              0 config.ini
-a----         13-Nov-21     23:03            737 weather.py

Answer 1

For me, it worked when I changed the file path with r"<filePath>"

config = configparser.RawConfigParser()
config.read(r"..\Configurations\config.ini")

I hope this works.

Answer 2

import configparser

def get_api_key():
    config = configparser.ConfigParser()
    config.read('config.ini')
    return config.get('openweathermap','api_key')

print(get_api_key())
