# Python Configuration File Parser
# configparser — Configuration file parser
# This module provides the ConfigParser class which implements a basic configuration language which provides a structure similar to what’s found in
# Microsoft Windows INI files. You can use this to write Python programs which can be customized by end users easily.
#

#
# The structure of INI files is described in the following section. Essentially, the file consists of sections, each of which contains keys with values.
# configparser classes can read and write such files.
#
# Let’s start by creating a configuration file programmatically.
# 

import configparser

config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config['DEFAULT'] = {'ServerAliveInterval': '45',
                         'Compression': 'yes',
                         'CompressionLevel': '9'}

config['bitbucket.org'] = {}
config['bitbucket.org']['User'] = 'hg'

config['topsecret.server.com'] = {}

topsecret = config['topsecret.server.com']
topsecret['Port'] = '50022'     # mutates the parser

topsecret['ForwardX11'] = 'no'  # same here

config['DEFAULT']['ForwardX11'] = 'yes'

with open('example.ini', 'w') as configfile:
      config.write(configfile)
