using ConfigParser wrong?

I have a file test.cfg:

[options]
option1=foo
option2=bar
I have a program testconfig.py:

import ConfigParser

config = ConfigParser.Co nfigParser()
f = open('test.cfg' )
config.readfp(f )
configList = config.items('o ptions')
print configList
config.set('opt ions', 'option3', 'baz')
config.write(f)
When I run this program, I get an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./testconfig.py", line 11, in ?
config.write(f)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/ConfigParser.py ", line 363, in write
fp.write("[%s]\n" % section)
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
Is .write() not right? If not, how do I save the changed config to file?

NM, I am an idiot. Need to open the file in write mode.

If I want to subclass ConfigParser and changed the optionxform method to not return things in lower case wouldn't I just need the following code in my subclasss module? from ConfigParser import * class MyConfigParser(ConfigParser): def __init__(self, defaults=None): ConfigParser.__init__(self, defaults)

Regards. Since sections in CongiParser files are delimited by , why there is not an escape (and unescape) function for escaping &, characters to &, [ and ] ? Thanks Manlio Perillo

I am working with PythonCard in one of my apps. For its purposes, it uses an .ini file that is passed to ConfigParser. For my app, I also need configuration information, but for various reasons, I'd rather use a syntax that ConfigParser can't handle. I know I can maintain two separate configuration files, and if I have to I will, but I'd rather avoid that, if possible, and a solution that suits my purposes is quite straightforward. I...

Hello, I'm not sure exactly what i'm doing wrong here. I asked around on IRC and i was told the code is correct. The purpose of Settings() is that whenever Settings() or any of its methods are called. It should pick up the latest settings from file instead of returning what was in the buffer. This allow other scripts to change the value and my program and pick these changes up. Everything else should work exact same as ConfigParser()....

Hello, I have a class called MyConfig, it is based on Python's ConfigParser.ConfigParser. It implements add_section(self, section), which is also implemented on ConfigParser.ConfigParser, which I want to call. So, reducing the problem to the bare minimum, the class (with a useless add_section that shows the problem): .... def add_section(self, section): .... super(MyConfig, self).add_section(section)

According to what I read in the ConfigParser module, this should work, but it doesn't. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong? def writeinifile ( self, FILE='P:/INI/test.ini', SECTION='Testsection', OPTION='Item', VALUE='wheeee' ): p = ConfigParser() p.read(FILE) if not p.has_section ( SECTION ): p.add_section(SECTION) p.set(SECTION, OPTION, VALUE) p.write(FILE)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
