configparser2

library4.0.0pypypiunverified

Backport of Python 3.5's configparser to older Python versions (2.6-3.5). Version 4.0.0 is the final release. Provides the updated ConfigParser with features like mapping protocol support, ordered dicts, and interpolation depth checking. Consider using Python 3's standard library configparser instead.

ConfigParser

✓ from backports.configparser import ConfigParser

✗ from configparser2 import ConfigParser

Minimal example using ConfigParser and environment variable for auth.

from configparser2 import ConfigParser import os config = ConfigParser() config.read_string(os.environ.get('CONFIG_STRING', '[DEFAULT]\nkey=value\n')) print(dict(config['DEFAULT']))

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedconfigparser2 is no longer maintained. Use Python 3's standard library configparser instead, or the backport 'configparser' package if stuck on Python 2.

fix

Switch to `import configparser` (stdlib backport) or upgrade to Python 3.

affects: all

breakingIn version 4.0.0, the `ConfigParser` class may have different default behavior for interpolation compared to older versions. Specifically, `strict` parameter defaults may break existing config files with duplicate keys.

fix

Set `strict=False` when creating ConfigParser if you rely on duplicate key behavior: `ConfigParser(strict=False)`.

affects: 4.0.0

gotchaInstalling configparser2 will uninstall the standard library backport `configparser` due to package conflicts. This can break other tools that depend on the stdlib backport.

fix

Use a virtual environment to isolate projects, or avoid installing both packages simultaneously.
