In the example above, :class:`SafeConfigParser` would resolve ``%(home_dir)s``
to the value of ``home_dir`` (``/Users`` in this case). ``%(my_dir)s`` in
effect would resolve to ``/Users/lumberjack``. All interpolations are done on
demand so keys used in the chain of references do not have to be specified in
any specific order in the configuration file.
:class:`RawConfigParser` would simply return ``%(my_dir)s/Pictures`` as the
value of ``my_pictures`` and ``%(home_dir)s/lumberjack`` as the value of
``my_dir``. Other features presented in the example are handled in the same
manner by both parsers.
Interpolation of values
-----------------------
On top of the core functionality, :class:`SafeConfigParser` supports
interpolation. This means values can be preprocessed before returning them
from ``get()`` calls.
.. class:: BasicInterpolation()
The default implementation used by :class:`SafeConfigParser`. It enables
values to contain format strings which refer to other values in the same
section, or values in the special default section [1]_. Additional default
values can be provided on initialization.
For example:
.. code-block:: ini
[Paths]
home_dir: /Users
my_dir: %(home_dir)s/lumberjack
my_pictures: %(my_dir)s/Pictures
In the example above, :class:`SafeConfigParser` with *interpolation* set to
``BasicInterpolation()`` would resolve ``%(home_dir)s`` to the value of
``home_dir`` (``/Users`` in this case). ``%(my_dir)s`` in effect would
resolve to ``/Users/lumberjack``. All interpolations are done on demand so
keys used in the chain of references do not have to be specified in any
specific order in the configuration file.
With ``interpolation`` set to ``None``, the parser would simply return
``%(my_dir)s/Pictures`` as the value of ``my_pictures`` and
``%(home_dir)s/lumberjack`` as the value of ``my_dir``.
.. class:: ExtendedInterpolation()
An alternative handler for interpolation which implements a more advanced
syntax, used for instance in ``zc.buildout``. Extended interpolation is
using ``${section:option}`` to denote a value from a foreign section.
Interpolation can span multiple levels. For convenience, if the ``section:``
part is omitted, interpolation defaults to the current section (and possibly
the default values from the special section).
For example, the configuration specified above with basic interpolation,
would look like this with extended interpolation:
.. code-block:: ini
[Paths]
home_dir: /Users
my_dir: ${home_dir}/lumberjack
my_pictures: ${my_dir}/Pictures
Values from other sections can be fetched as well:
.. code-block:: ini

The convention of allowing a special section of default values for other
sections or interpolation purposes is a powerful concept of this library,
letting users create complex declarative configurations. This section is
normally called ``"DEFAULT"`` but this can be customized to point to any
other valid section name. Some typical values include: ``"general"`` or
``"common"``. The name provided is used for recognizing default sections when
reading from any source and is used when writing configuration back to

(i.e. to convert files from one format to another).

.. method:: getboolean(section, option, [vars, fallback])
A convenience method which coerces the *option* in the specified *section*
to a Boolean value. Note that the accepted values for the option are
``"1"``, ``"yes"``, ``"true"``, and ``"on"``, which cause this method to
return ``True``, and ``"0"``, ``"no"``, ``"false"``, and ``"off"``, which
cause it to return ``False``. These string values are checked in a
case-insensitive manner. Any other value will cause it to raise
:exc:`ValueError`. See :meth:`get` for explanation of *vars* and

Write a representation of the configuration to the specified :term:`file

representation can be parsed by a future :meth:`read` call. If
*space_around_delimiters* is true, delimiters between

of this name on instances to affect this behavior.
You don't need to subclass the parser to use this method, you can also
set it on an instance, to a function that takes a string argument and
returns a string. Setting it to ``str``, for example, would make option

and followed by "name: value" entries, with continuations and such in
the style of RFC 822.
The option values can contain format strings which refer to other values in
the same section, or values in a special [DEFAULT] section.

expansions are done late, on demand.
Intrinsic defaults can be specified by passing them into the

- Issue #10467: Fix BytesIO.readinto() after seeking into a position after the
end of the file.
- configparser: the ConfigParser class has been deprecated in favor of
SafeConfigParser. Usage of RawConfigParser is now discouraged for new
projects in favor of SafeConfigParser(interpolation=None).
- Issue #10499: configparser supports pluggable interpolation handlers. New
interpolation handler added (ExtendedInterpolation) which supports the syntax
used by zc.buildout (e.g. interpolation between sections).
- Issue #1682942: configparser supports alternative option/value delimiters.
- Issue #5412: configparser supports mapping protocol access.
