no what you have to do :
User = config['Header']['User']
start = config['Header']['loop']['start']

Of course you can use "shortcuts" like you do with your :
Header = config['Header']
so start would be :
start = Header['loop']['start']

or even :
Header = config['Header']
loop = Header['loop']
start = loop['start']

The loop is only relevant if you have multiple subsections AND you don't 
know the names of the subsections like this:

[Header]
User=value

     [[loop1]]
     start = startPoint
     step = stepPoint
     stop = stopPoint

     [[loop2]]
     start = startPoint
     step = stepPoint
     stop = stopPoint

so you'll have the code like I said in the previous mail which will goes 
through loop1 and loop2 and so on.

But once again, this is only relevant if you don't know the name of the 
subsections in advance. If you know their name, you don't need to do a 
loop. Just call them directly like said above with :

Header = config['Header']
loop = Header['loop']
start = loop['start']

this is described in the documentation.
User is a string (probably)
loop is a dictionary

multiple "loop" is not possible. this i a keyword. For this use is 
better an xml.
but you can do something similar using

[[loop1]]
   ...
[[loop2]]
   ...
and so on.

Re: [Configobj-develop] reading sub-sections and repeated section names

[Nicolas M. <nic...@le...>]

So in my example, "config" is an instance of the ConfigObj object:

config = ConfigObj('PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE')

# Then you can start a loop :

for key in config[main_key]:
     is_a_subsection = isinstance(config[main_key][key],dict)
     if is_a_subsection:
         do something

So with your exemple, my "main_key" is the [header] and the key is your 
[[loop]]

You can understand it like this :
- open python in interractive mode :
python

- import configobj :
from configobj import ConfigObj

- create your configobj instance :
config =  ConfigObj('PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE')

- then display the content of config :
config

Here is an exerpt of my config file :

ConfigObj({'opghl': {'enable': 'yes', 'acc_host': 'ghl-acc', 
'acc_storage': '/home/fabric/postgres_repprod/', 'ghl': {'acc_db': 
'ghl-sync'}}, ...

So if you reconstruct the tree with that list :
[opghl]
enable = yes
acc_host = ghl-acc
acc_storage = /home/fabric/postgres_repprod/

     [[ghl]]
     acc_db = ghl-sync

that's because opghl is a dictionnary with some keys/values. And one of 
these keys ("ghl") is also a dictionnary.

So in my code isinstance test each keys into opghl (this is the 
"main_key"). So it test :
- enable
- acc_host
- acc_storage
- ghl

If one is a dictionnary then it goes through my condition (isinstance 
returns true).

Re: [Configobj-develop] reading sub-sections and repeated section names

[Nicolas M. <nic...@le...>]

Hehe, not so easy! ;)
This is a subsection only if the key is not only a value but a dictionary :

is_a_subsection = isinstance(config[main_key][key],dict)
if is_a_subsection:
     do ...

[Configobj-develop] reading sub-sections and repeated section names

[Arash A. <aza...@gm...>]

Hi all ,
I have 2 questions.


1- I was wondering whats the procedure for reading the value for subsection,
sub-sub section and so on :

config.cfg file :

[Header]
User=value

  [[ loop]]
     start= startPoint
     step= stepPoint
     stop= stopPoint



Python Code for reading config file :

config=configObj(path)
Header = config['Header']
User = Header['User']
loop = ??
step= ???

2 - how can I have multiple subsections with similar name and keywords
within one section ?
For example having multiple [[loop]] subsections like one is defined above .

Thank you ,
Arash.

[Configobj-develop] Improved VdtTypeError, and a question on [__many__] defaults

[Tomi P. <tom...@ik...>]

Hi!

Please cc me, I'm not on the list.

I just had a hairy bug in my config file; I had an extra comma at the
end of a string, so it was interpreted as a list, not as a string. The
validation error was all the time:

 VdtTypeError('the value "[\'mplayer -slave -vc null -vo null
 {file}\']" is of the wrong type.',)

I was thinking that if the validator would say what type it expected
and what it got, I would have seen the comma a lot faster. Maybe the
exceptions could say that?


Then one extra question... Is it possible to put defaults into
[__many__] subsections? I'm wondering what's the best solution to
configure cplay (a curses frontend to audio players). It needs some
config information about what cli players to use, and what command to
give them. There's a varying amount (different players for different
file types, though mplayer plays them all), but I'd like to put some
default players in there (mplayer, ogg123, mpg123 etc).

Hello Nicolas,

Sorry for the late reply. You can tell what sub-sections are in a 
section with the '.sections' attribute. This is a list of strings that 
you can loop over.

Here's an example:

 >>> from configobj import ConfigObj
 >>> c = ConfigObj({'opghl': {'acc_user': 'openerp', 'prod_user': 
'openerp',
... 'acc_host': 'ghl-dev.lan.pcsol.be', 'db_prod': {'prod_db_name': 'ghl',
... 'acc_db_name': 'ghl'}, 'db_prod_2': {'prod_db_name': 'ghl2',
... 'acc_db_name': 'ghl2'}}, 'test': {'acc_user': 'openerp-test',
... 'prod_user': 'openerp-test', 'acc_host': 'test-dev.lan.pcsol.be',
... 'db_prod-test': {'prod_db_name': 'ghl-test', 'acc_db_name': 
'ghl-test'},
... 'db_prod_2-test': {'prod_db_name': 'ghl2-test', 'acc_db_name':
... 'ghl2-test'}}})
 >>> c.sections
['test', 'opghl']
 >>> test = c['test']
 >>> test.sections
['db_prod_2-test', 'db_prod-test']
 >>> for section in test.sections:
...    print test[section]
...
{'acc_db_name': 'ghl2-test', 'prod_db_name': 'ghl2-test'}
{'acc_db_name': 'ghl-test', 'prod_db_name': 'ghl-test'}

The '.sections' attribute is documented here:

     http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html#section-attributes

I hope this is helpful.

All the best,

Re: [Configobj-develop] Problem with understanding subsections

[Nicolas M. <nic...@le...>]

I just find the answer by reading this :
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/configobj_for_data_persistence.shtml#creating-a-configspec

So here is what I did :
for sub in (keys for keys in config['opghl'] if 
isinstance(config['opghl'][keys],dict)):
     print sub

Then it prints me :
db_prod
db_prod_2
(See my first mail below)

But I was wondering if you can't implement a method to do it more easily 
or maybe to document it better in the official doc :
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html

Is this the better way to achieve mu goal? Or there is a more pythonic way?

Regards,
sylock

[Configobj-develop] Problem with understanding subsections

[Nicolas M. <nic...@le...>]

Hello,

I have a problem understanding subsections with configobj.

Here is the structure of my config file :

[__main_section_1__]
key1 = string
key2 = string
key3 = string
     [[__subsection_1__]]
     sub_key_1 = string
     sub_key_2 = string

(So there is an unlimited number of main section in which I have some 
subsections ; at least one subsection by main section)

What I need to do is a loop on each subsection to do some job. I can't 
do it (I'm new with Python so please excuse me if my question seems silly).

something like :
for subsections in main_section:
	my_code

Here is a structure sample of my current config file :

ConfigObj({'opghl': {'acc_user': 'openerp', 'prod_user': 'openerp', 
'acc_host': 'ghl-dev.lan.pcsol.be', 'db_prod': {'prod_db_name': 'ghl', 
'acc_db_name': 'ghl'}, 'db_prod_2': {'prod_db_name': 'ghl2', 
'acc_db_name': 'ghl2'}}, 'test': {'acc_user': 'openerp-test', 
'prod_user': 'openerp-test', 'acc_host': 'test-dev.lan.pcsol.be', 
'db_prod-test': {'prod_db_name': 'ghl-test', 'acc_db_name': 'ghl-test'}, 
'db_prod_2-test': {'prod_db_name': 'ghl2-test', 'acc_db_name': 
'ghl2-test'}}})

==> I would want to list all the subsection of opghl or test. In that 
case it would be
- for opghl : db_prod and db_prod_2
- for test : db_prod-test, db_prod_2-test

Thank you a lot for your help!

I think it would add complexity for a reasonably rare use case (and I 
suspect that different use cases would want different ways of specifying 
the version to use, so there isn't necessarily a "one size fits all" 
solution).

It probably wouldn't be *very* hard to add it as a separate function or 
set of functions built on top of the validate library. You can look at 
the ConfigObj.validate method to see how the standard validation is 
implemented.

All the best,

Michael Foord

Hello Leonardo,

Sorry for the late reply. My daughter has just been born so life has 
been kind of hectic recently.

ConfigObj has no support for multiple configspec versions, so I think 
you'll need several different configspec files and select them depending 
on which version you need (as you suggest).

All the best,

Michael Foord

Re: [Configobj-develop] Multiple Versions of Same Configspec in one configspec file

[L. C. <l.c...@gm...>]

Michael,

It's quite all right on the late reply. I actually much prefer to find a
solution myself, but I just wanted to check to see what other people with
more experience with the library had done.

What I ended up doing is to only validate based on the common + version
section, and ignore the rest. The first key in the [common] section is
"version", this allows me to easily pull the version number out. So when I
pass the configuration object to the validator to be validated,
I preserve errors, and subsequently only pay attention to errors that are in
the [common] or [.1] section (if version is .1). Thus, I always fail
validation, but I only check to see if the common + version in question
failed or passed.

It's not as clean as I would like; but it works.

Do you / anyone else see multiple configspec versions as a worthwhile
addition to the library?

Thanks,
Leonardo

Re: [Configobj-develop] Reading an array

[Lawrence A. <la...@gm...>]

Because arrays make it easy to use the data
eg

# Create max min arrays
self.max_data = np.maximum(y_data, self.max_data)
self.min_data = np.minimum(y_data, self.min_data)

instead of

# Create max min lists
for i in range(0, 601):
            if float(y_list[i]) < float(self.min_list[i]):
                self.min_list[i] = y_list[i]
            if float(y_list[i]) > float(self.max_list[i]):
                self.max_list[i] = y_list[i]

There is a numpy tolist() also.. I didn't know that. Thanks.

Re: [Configobj-develop] Reading an array

[L. C. <l.c...@gm...>]

Why are you using an array anyways?

Array has a built in function to do so. It's array.tolist(), there's also
array.fromlist(LIST), check the docs:
http://docs.python.org/library/array.html

This is assuming you are using the reg python array and not the NumPy array.

Re: [Configobj-develop] Reading an array

[Lawrence A. <la...@gm...>]

It seems you are correct. If I convert the array (which is one
dimensional) to a list then I can read and write. Its a little clumsy
but will do for now.. unless someone wants to add array support :)

Re: [Configobj-develop] Reading an array

[L. C. <l.c...@gm...>]

As far as I know, Configobj doesn't handle arrays. It does handle lists
though.

I am by no means an expert.

Take a quick read through configobj.py.

Hi, I've need to add an array to the end af my configobj file but am
getting an error when I try and read back. line 19 is line starting

[Configobj-develop] Multiple Versions of Same Configspec in one configspec file

[L. C. <l.c...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I wanted to make one configuration specification file for multiple versions
of the configspec. That way as the requirements of the configspec change,
only one configspec has to be updated and it will still work with the old
and new specs.

Right now I have the configspec in the following format:

> specVersion = float(min=0.0)
>
>  # Common among all versions
>  [common]
> id = integer(min=0)
> ...
>
> # Specific to Spec Version .2
> [.2]
> width = integer()
>
> #specific to spec version .1
> [.1]
> height = integer()
>

The issue I have is that I don't think I can write a custom validate
function to only validate the needed sections.
Is it not possible for me to do this? Will I just have to make different
configspec files and load them based on what specVersion is?

Does this even make sense?!

Thank you for your help,
Leonardo

You are correct. I thought that I did try 4.7.2, but my sys.path was
messed up. Just the system version 4.5.2 (of Debian Lenny) is affected.

Thanks for pointing out

The code works for me with configobj-4.7.2: it prints False as expected.

[Configobj-develop] Bug when using __many__ for values?

[Helmut G. <h.g...@cy...>]

Hi,

Please CC me in a reply, because I am not subscribed to the mailing
list.

The documentation section 5.1.2.3[1] explains how to force all values of a
section to have the same type.

I tried this using the following example.

***snip***
import configobj
import validate

spec = configobj.ConfigObj("""
[test]
__many__ = integer
""".splitlines(), interpolation=False, list_values=False)

config = configobj.ConfigObj("""
[test]
spam = not an integer
""".splitlines(), configspec=spec)

print config.validate(validate.Validator())
***snip***

The expected outcome would be False, because spam is "not an integer".
The observed outcome in contrast is True. Changing __many__ to spam
gives the expected outcome False.

So what is wrong here?

Helmut
