Hi All,
i am wondering about the best way to read in a configuration file that
goes like:
###########
[users]
source_dir = '/home/karthik/Projects/python'
data_dir = '/home/karthik/Projects/data'
result_dir = '/home/karthik/Projects/Results'
param_file = $result_dir/param_file
res_file = $result_dir/result_file
comment = 'this is a comment'
K = 8
simulate_K = 0
N = 4000
mod_scheme = 'QPSK'
Na = K+2
############### #######
As of now i use config parser and i get this in a dictionary but
a) but i have users.na and not users.Na (all the fields are in lower
case)
b) all the rhs arguements are string, but i have handled this by
trying " try eval(rhs) ... except ..." block
c) Na = 'K+2' though does not work, would like to have Na = 10, but i
get users.na = 'K+2'
d) result_file, param_file should actually be should be with pathname
extensions filled in.
Have looked in c.l.py none one ofthe suggestions was to use
splitlines, this cant handle blank lines, other was to have config.py
...
Hope to get some solution for this ..
with warm regards
karthik

I modified the config parser that is included as an example that ships with
pyparsing, by adding:
iniLines = "\n".join( file("karthik.i ni").readlines( ) )
config = inifile_BNF().p arseString(iniL ines)
pprint.pprint( config.asList() )
for k in config.users.ke ys():
print k,":",config.us ers[k]
This gives the following output:
[['users',
['source_dir ', " '/home/karthik/Projects/python'"],
['data_dir ', " '/home/karthik/Projects/data'"],
['result_dir ', " '/home/karthik/Projects/Results'"],
['param_file ', ' $result_dir/param_file'],
['res_file ', ' $result_dir/result_file'],
['comment ', " 'this is a comment'"],
['K ', ' 8'],
['simulate_K ', ' 0'],
['N ', ' 4000'],
['mod_scheme ', " 'QPSK'"],
['Na ', ' K+2']]]
comment : 'this is a comment'
data_dir : '/home/karthik/Projects/data'
mod_scheme : 'QPSK'
Na : K+2
K : 8
simulate_K : 0
N : 4000
res_file : $result_dir/result_file
result_dir : '/home/karthik/Projects/Results'
source_dir : '/home/karthik/Projects/python'
param_file : $result_dir/param_file
This actually shows the 3 access modes to the results from a pyparsing
parseString() operation:
- as a raw list of tokens (optionally grouped into sublists, giving a parse
tree)
- as an object with attributes (note reference to 'config.users', also
notice that keys are not converted to lower case)
- as a dictionary (access to config.users[k] for each key k)
The 2nd level keys could also be referenced using the form
config.users.da ta_dir, config.users.co mment, etc.
pyparsing also comes with an expression parser and evaluator in its
examples. With some creative merging of the two, I think you could in
fairly short order have a config parser that would handle your Na = K+2 and
res_file = "$result_dir... " config values.
The pyparsing home page is at http://pyparsing.sourceforge.net.

Thankx paul, will have to download pyparsing, will do in a short will
and try your trick, hope it works well :-)

I kept this sample from an ealier thread or website. I don't have the
link nor can I give credit to the author. If you have some lattitude
on the exact format of the config file, this may do the trick for you
though:
Python App Macro Lang
class App:
def __init__(self, name):
self._name = name
def name(self):
return self._name
i=123
macrosource = """
print app.name()
i=1
if i==2:
server="interna l.blah.com"
else:
server="externa l.blah.com"
"""
code = compile(macroso urce, '<string>', "exec")
anApp = App('Global App Object')
context = {}
# populate context with fun things
context["app"] = anApp
exec code in context
print "The server is:" + context["server"]
if i != 123:
raise "local variable 'i' changed"
output = """
c:\cygwin\bin\s h -c "python PyAsMacroLang.p y"
Global App Object
The server is:external.bla h.com

I can't integrate the settings in web.config, it has to be a seperate file.
