configobj - use of

[Bruce]

I assume that you know the module configobj. I use it like this:
I have a config_file :

[sec1]
[[subsec1]]
a = 1
b = 2
[[subsec2]]
a = 3
b = 1

... ans so on

Then in the code I have c = configobj.ConfigObj(path_to_config file)

then I go like for instance

for s in c['sec1']:
print c['sec1'][s]['a']

Just think its awkward that its neccessary to use the c['sec1'] again
inside the loop,
guess I`d like it to be like
print s.a

instead

Is this the right way to use configobj?

So bind a variable to the section, and write

csec = c['sec1']
for s in csec:
print csec[s]['a']

I don't think configobj support attribute-based access to the section
values, in which case

print csec[s].a

won't work.
