Cfg Parser - Configuration parser class.

---

Parsing config files with predetermined structure and generating default one if no config file found.

Structure is as follows:

• All sections are lowercase without whitespaces
• All fields are camel case and leading character represent type field contains

Available types are:

• i - integer, i.e. iInterval=30
• f - float, i.e. fPrice=45.67
• b - boolean, i.e. bEnableSpoofing=1
• s - string, i.e. sEntryPointClass=MainMethanina
• l - list, i.e. lProxyList=127.0.0.1:3456,127.0.0.1:2333,127.0.0.1:4565

Installation

Requirements

• python 2.7.x
