In the first case you are passing ConfigObj a relative path - so because 
the config file 'test.ini' doesn't exist in the current directory 
ConfigObj creates a new one.

When you provide the full path the parse error *should* tell you what is 
wrong. I think you need spaces around your '=' sign - so that ConfigObj 
can tell where your keys end and your values begin.

item1 = value

Try that and either change the current directory to the location 
containing the config file or pass in the full path.

[Configobj-develop] Help

[Antonis P. <ant...@gm...>]

Hello

I have an .ini (settings file) which contains following:

Code:

[section1]
item1=value
item2=value

[section2]
item3=value

I put the "test.ini" and the "configobj.py" files in "E:\".

I then run the following script (iniread.py):

Code:

import sys
sys.path.append("E:\\")
import configobj
from configobj import ConfigObj

config = ConfigObj("test.ini")

section = config['section2']
value = section['item3']

print 'item3 : ' + value

But I get the following error:

Quote:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\private\2000b1a5\default.py", line 81, in menu_action
f()
File "C:\private\2000b1a5\default.py", line 65, in query_and_exec
execfile(script_list[index][1]. encode('utf-8'), script_namespace. namespace)
File "C:\python\iniread.py", line 8, in ?
section = config['section2']
File "E:\configobj.py", line 580, in __getitem__
val = dict.__getitem__(self, key)
KeyError: section2

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I see the value of item3?
I also want to know how to read a file that is not in the same folder
as configobj.py I tried with E:\\foldername\test.ini but I got a parse
error in configobj.py...

Thank you

Hello Daniel,

I've fixed the problem, plus a couple of warnings in SVN. As there are 
no code changes I haven't bumped the version number. I can successfully 
build API docs with Epydoc with this version.

If that is the only issue, then replacing it with the following will
probably work:

.. admonition:: caution

(If it still fails, try warning instead of caution.)

If it works I'll patch in subversion on my return.

I am using the latest docutils.  The issue seems to be the use of
'.. caution::' in the docstring of configobj.Section.walk.  Despite
some time spent poking around, I couldn't work out anything more than
this.

Thanks. :)  Enjoy the rest of your time in Romania.

Hmmm... I've managed to view the attachment. Epydoc is complaining about the
reST syntax - presumably in a docstring. There are various possibilities,
including the possibility that you are using an old version of docutils. I
would check if using the latest release helps (0.5.0 - the previous release
is about 2 years old).

I can look at this in more detail on my return.

Re: [Configobj-develop] Documentation Generation

[Michael F. <fuz...@vo...>]

Hi Daniel,

I'm currently in Romania (and can't even view the attachment!). I'll look at
it as soon as I return (Monday).

ConfigObj wasn't written with creating documentation from epydoc in mind by
the way. If the fix is trivial (which I assume it will be) then I'll be
happy to include it of course.

Thanks for adopting ConfigObj.

Monkey patching at runtime is slightly frowned on (it becomes a 
maintenance nightmare), but sometimes you have no choice.

Implemented on the top of PyQt4.  It's only PoC code, but I think it 
illustrates the general approach and serves as small base for something 
more powerful.

[Configobj-develop] GUI for ConfigObj

[Oliver S. <oli...@gm...>]

Hello,

first many thanks to the authors and contributors for making available  
such a flexible, powerful and clean tool.

My question: Is anyone aware of a reusable widget/component that would  
allow me to display/interactively edit a CongfigObj in memory?

If not, any hints on building such a beast?

Best regards,

Oliver Schweitzer

Thanks, that will work for me. For future reference is replacing a 
function like i mentioned previously a bad practice? (Assuming i cant 
find the proper way to do it like you showed me or there is not one 
available.)
Thanks so much for your assistance.

Although ConfigObj continues parsing it still raises an exception when 
it finishes parsing.

Therefore instead of your code you could use:

try:

    config = ConfigObj(filename)
except ConfigObjError, e:
    config = e.config

This ignores the error and uses whatever ConfigObj managed to find.

Re: [Configobj-develop] configobj exceptionlist

[David B. <da...@gm...>]

Apparently i was looking at the documentation for an older version of configobj.

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj3.html#exceptions 

My apologies. However, I still need a way to prevent configobj from stopping when it finds a duplicate key word entry. The link you posted says that the default for raise_errors is False and that parsing should continue. However for my program it stops parsing and the program exits. I did find that i can define the following in my program and it works for me:

def _handle_error(self, text, ErrorClass, infile, cur_index):
	##the next two lines i added to stop duplicate
	##entries from causing problems
	if ErrorClass ==configobj.DuplicateError:
		return
	##this is the end of the changes i made.
	line = infile[cur_index]
	cur_index += 1
	message = text % cur_index
	error = ErrorClass(message, cur_index, line)
	if self.raise_errors:
	# raise the error - parsing stops here
		raise error
	# store the error
	# reraise when parsing has finished
	self._errors.append(error)
configobj.ConfigObj._handle_error=_handle_error

This works but im not sure that this is "good coding" practice.
The following is the problem im am having.
>>>x=configobj.ConfigObj("conf")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/configobj.py", line 1272, in __init__
    self._load(infile, configspec)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/configobj.py", line 1355, in _load
    raise error
configobj.DuplicateError: Duplicate keyword name at line 3.
>>> 
the conf file looks like this:
[conf]
value1= workgroup
value1=workgroup2

Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

ConfigObj doesn't define any 'exceptionlist', nor is it in the 
documentation. Where are you getting this example from?

The ConfigObj exceptions are documented at:

[Configobj-develop] configobj exceptionlist

[David B. <da...@gm...>]

Im trying to use the exceptionlist that is mentioned in the docs on the 
website to stop my program from erroring out if there is a duplicate 
value entered in the config file. However, when i try to do

from configobj import exceptionlist

like the website says to do, i get the following:

 >>> from configobj import exceptionlist
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name exceptionlist

can anyone help me?
thanks.
David.

I don't think this is a bug. Quotes are used to 'contain' values, and if 
a line starts with double quotes it is fair to assume it is a quoted value.

It would unnecessarily complicate the parser to change this behaviour. 
At least you can use:
   
    email = '"name" <na...@ex...>'

I would certainly consider a patch though. :-)

[Configobj-develop] Is this a bug? Quoted and non-quoted words in a single line

[Jeff B. <its...@gm...>]

ConfigObj raises a parse error when it finds a line with quoted and
non-quoted words in the same line.  The original failure was
discovered when someone tried to write an email as

    email = "name" <na...@ex...>

I'm attaching a patch with a failing test.  It's against
configobj_test.py from the latest configobj.zip, since I didn't find
the test file in svn.

Cheers,
Jeff Balogh

I feel dumb - I was trying to use the "Import" item on the RapidSVN
repository menu.  Using the same URL under "Checkout" does, indeed, work
just fine.

Meanwhile, the new version continues to be golden for me.  Thank you again.

If you checkout from the following URL you won't need to authenticate:

Glad the change worked for you, I'll bush out a bugfix release soon.

Sorry for the delay - I generally use bazaar, not SVN, and had uninstalled
Tortoise 'cause I hated it; I installed RapidSVN this time.  I tried to
import your repository but got stopped by a username/password prompt (for
future reference, what SHOULD I enter there?)

I gave up and just downloaded configobj.py from
Revision 88: /trunk/pythonutilsand, so far, it looks great!  I see the
change you made, replacing two dictionary lookups with get/defaults.  Very
clever!

Unfortunately, you've removed my excuse for procrastination: now I actually
have to write the code that adds/edits/deletes job profiles.  Dagnabbit,
there went the weekend...  Ah well, my users will be happy anyway.

Thank you!

I'm really sorry - I should have looked at this more closely when you 
sent it.

The answer is really quite simple. In order for a ConfigObj instance to 
be used as a configspec it must be created with 'list_values=False' (or 
the commas in the configspec will cause the right hand side to be parsed 
as a list.

configspec = ConfigObj('config.spec', list_values=False)

Should work. Sorry that took so long.

Hello Marc,

There is a fixed version now in subversion - I'd be grateful if you 
could try it and report any issues you have.

I have one more problem to investigate that was reported a while ago.
