These are some examples on using ConfigParser, assuming the following INI file...
[SectionOne] Status: Single Name: Derek Value: Yes Age: 29 Single: True [SectionTwo] FavoriteColor=Green [SectionThree] FamilyName: Johnson [Others] Route: 66
>>> from ConfigParser import ConfigParser
>>> Config = ConfigParser()
>>> Config
<ConfigParser.ConfigParser instance at 0x00BA9B20>
>>> Config.read("c:\\tomorrow.ini")
['c:\\tomorrow.ini']
>>> Config.sections()
['Others', 'SectionThree', 'SectionOne', 'SectionTwo']
>>>
