[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 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

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:

I hope this is helpful.

All the best,
