How do I use ConfigParser in Python?

ConfigParser is a module in Python that allows you to read and write configuration files. You can use it to manage settings in your applications.

Can you show me a simple example of reading a config file?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import configparser

config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read('example.ini')

# Accessing a value
value = config['SectionName']['KeyName']
print(value)

What if the section or key doesn't exist?

You can use the has_section() and has_option() methods to check if a section or key exists before accessing it.

Thanks! Can I also write to a config file?

Yes, you can! Use the set() method to change values and write() to save the changes back to the file.
