Python module for *writing* openstack style config files?
Is there a Python module that can write OpenStack-style INI configuration files?
The OpenStack project using an INI-style configuration file format parsed by the oslo.config
module. There are a few things that make it incompatible with the standard INI parsing and generating tools, such as ConfigParser
or iniparse
:
The
DEFAULT
section is not meant to be treated specially.Options can take multiple values by listing them multiple times in the config file. That is, the result of:
option_foo = value1 option_foo = value2
Is:
option_foo = ['value1', 'value2']
The oslo.config.cfg
module has a parser that will read these files without a problem. I wanted to write something similar to crudini (which itself does not currently handle multi-valued options) that would read a data soruce for configuration values and then generate an appropriate configuration file.
While I can certainly write one myself, I'm curious if there is a solution out there already.
