This library brings the updated configparser from Python 3.2+ to Python 2.5-2.7.
Project description
The ancient ConfigParser module available in the standard library 2.x has seen a major update in Python 3.2. This is a backport of those changes so that they can be used directly in Python 2.5 - 2.7.
To use configparser instead of ConfigParser, simply replace:
import ConfigParser
with:
import configparser
For detailed documentation consult the vanilla version at http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/configparser.html.
Versioning
This backport is intended to keep 100% compatibility with the vanilla release in Python 3.2+. To help maintaining a version you want and expect, a versioning scheme is used where:
the first three numbers indicate the version of Python 3.x from which the backport is done
a backport release number is provided after the r letter
For example, 3.2.0r1 is the first release of configparser compatible with the library found in Python 3.2.0.
A single exception from the 100% compatibility principle is that bugs fixed before releasing another minor Python 3.x.y version will be included in the backport releases done in the mean time. This rule applies to bugs only.
Maintenance
This backport is maintained on BitBucket by Łukasz Langa, the current vanilla configparser maintainer for CPython:
