Config.ini Setup Utility

A simple Python script designed to make configuring your config.ini file quick, easy, and user-friendly. This utility scans your existing configuration file, prompts you to fill in missing or placeholder values, and saves the updated configuration.

Features

• Dynamic Configuration: Automatically detects sections and keys in the config.ini file and prompts for missing or placeholder values.
• Interactive Prompts: Guides you through updating each variable, showing current values and allowing you to retain or change them.
• Universal Support: Works with any config.ini structure, making it suitable for a wide variety of projects.
• Safe Execution: Includes a confirmation step before making any changes.

How It Works

1. Scan Existing Configurations: Reads the config.ini file to identify all sections and keys.
2. Interactive Setup: Prompts you to fill in missing or placeholder values for each key.
3. Save Updates: Writes the updated configuration back to the config.ini file.

Usage

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed on your system.
• A config.ini file in the same directory as the script.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/config-ini-setup.git
   cd config-ini-setup
   

2. Ensure you have a config.ini file in the project directory. If one does not exist, create it manually with your desired sections and keys.

Running the Script

1. Run the script: python configure.py

2. Follow the prompts:

   • The script will display a welcome message and ask if you want to continue.
   • If you type y, the script will scan the config.ini file and guide you through updating values.
   • If you type n, the script will exit without making changes.

3. Once complete, the updated configuration will be saved.

Customization

You can adapt the script to:

• Automatically generate a default config.ini if it doesn’t exist.
• Add validation for specific keys (e.g., checking if a port is an integer).
• Extend support for different configuration formats like JSON or YAML.
