pip install dkconfig
Most of the methods of ConfigParser
(https://docs.python.org/2/library/configparser.html#ConfigParser.RawConfigParser)
should be usable in a relatively obvious way, however, dkconfig tries to
give you some sane defaults to make your life easier, e.g. it will create
files/headers/keys that don't exist:
/tst> ll /tst> dkconfig foo.ini set header key value /tst> cat foo.ini [header] key = value
Sections can be added:
/tst> dkconfig foo.ini add_section header2 /tst> cat foo.ini [header] key = value [header2]
re-adding them is a no-op (and doesn't throw an exception):
/tst> dkconfig foo.ini add_section header2 /tst> cat foo.ini [header] key = value [header2]
the values command pretty prints the keys and values:
/tst> dkconfig foo.ini values key => value
the dos command will output the key/values as dos set commands:
/tst> dkconfig foo.ini dos set "KEY=value"
from a batch file you would use it like this:
dkconfig foo.ini dos > tmp.bat && call tmp.bat && del tmp.bat
the bash command does the same for bash, and you'll use it together with
eval:
eval $(dkconfig foo.ini bash)
You can read values directly into dos variables in the regular way:
> for /f "delims=" %a in ('dkconfig foo.ini get header key') do @set KEY=%a
> echo %KEY%
value
Bash has a more sane syntax for this:
bash$ export KEY=$(dkconfig foo.ini get header key) bash$ echo $KEY value
The appropriate error returns are set if a key is missing:
/tst> dkconfig foo.ini get header missing /tst> echo %ERRORLEVEL% 1 /tst> dkconfig foo.ini get header key value /tst> echo %ERRORLEVEL% 0
