What are INI files and how do I use them?

INI files are simple text files used for configuration. They consist of sections, properties, and values.

Can you give me an example of an INI file?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

[Database]
User=root
Password=1234
Host=localhost

This defines a section called 'Database' with three properties.

How do I read an INI file in Python?

You can use the configparser module in Python. Here's a quick example:

import configparser
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read('config.ini')
user = config['Database']['User']

What are the advantages of using INI files?

INI files are easy to read and write, making them user-friendly for configuration settings.
