I have a configuration file (feedbar.cfg), having the following content:
[last_session]
last_position_x=10
last_position_y=10
After I run the following python script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import pygtk
import gtk
import ConfigParser
import os
pygtk.require('2.0')
class FeedbarConfig():
""" Configuration class for Feedbar.
Used to persist / read data from feedbar's cfg file """
def __init__(self, cfg_file_name="feedbar.cfg"):
self.cfg_file_name = cfg_file_name
self.cfg_parser = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
self.cfg_parser.readfp(open(cfg_file_name))
def update_file(self):
with open(cfg_file_name,"wb") as cfg_file:
self.cfg_parser.write(cfg_file)
#PROPERTIES
def get_last_position_x(self):
return self.cfg_parser.getint("last_session", "last_position_x")
def set_last_position_x(self, new_x):
self.cfg_parser.set("last_session", "last_position_x", new_x)
self.update_file()
last_position_x = property(get_last_position_x, set_last_position_x)
if __name__ == "__main__":
#feedbar = FeedbarWindow()
#feedbar.main()
config = FeedbarConfig()
print config.last_position_x
config.last_position_x = 5
print config.last_position_x
The output is:
10
5
But the file is not updated. The cfg file contents remain the same.
Any suggestions ?
Is there another way to bind config information from a file into a python class ? Something like JAXB in Java (but not for XML, just .ini files).
Thanks!
