[Python-Dev] ConfigParser with a single section (original) (raw)

Unfortunately I cannot easily supply the section line when parsing the config file, even if I use ConfigParser.readfp(); the "obvious solution"

prefix = cStringIO.StringIO("[Options]\n") cfp = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() cfp.readfp(prefix, filename) cfp.read(filename) doesn't work because the ConfigParser object expects a new section header for each read*() call.

So copy everything into one memory buffer.
