Branch: pkgsrc-2017Q3, Version: 0.4, Package name: py27-iniparse-0.4, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

iniparse is a INI parser for Python which is:

* Compatiable with ConfigParser: Backward compatible implementations of
ConfigParser, RawConfigParser, and SafeConfigParser are included that are API
compatible with the Python standard library. They pass all the unit tests
included with Python;

* Preserves structure of INI files: Order of sections & options, indentation,
comments, and blank lines are preserved as far as possible when data is
updated;

* More convenient: Values can be accessed using dotted notation
(cfg.user.name), or using container syntax (cfg['user']['name']);

It is very useful for config files that are updated both by users and by
programs, since it is very disorienting for a user to have her config file
completely rearranged whenever a program changes it. iniparse also allows making
the order of entries in a config file significant, which is desirable in
applications like image galleries.
