Using Python's ConfigParser to read a file without section name

Hello: I am using ConfigParser to read the runtime configuration of a script. I would like to have the flexibility of not providing a section name (there are scripts which are simple enough; they don't need a 'section'). ConfigParser will throw the NoSectionError exception, and will not accept the file. How can I make ConfigParser sim...

My.Settings not saving after install

My application is not saving users settings after I install it. When I test my app in debug or release mode it works fine.

So I know it’s reading the config ...

Codeigniter return config file as array with autoload enabled

So I'm using CodeIgniter to build a website and I've made it so that all my specific settings are stored in a config file that's automatically loaded.

Python: Decent config file format

I'd like to use a configuration file format which supports key value pairs and nestable, repeatable structures, and which is as light on syntax as possible.

Java - configure Object properties

Hi all, I would like to configure an object's properties at runtime either via a properties file, possibly XML (even though it can be a little more verbose). The properties may be nested, so I think I would use something like Apache's Bean Utils. I was wondering what other formats are out there instead of properties and xml. Thanks, ...

Is there a Scala version of .irbrc or another way to define some default libraries for REPL use?

I've written a little library that uses implicits to add functionality that one only needs when using the REPL in Scala. Ruby has libraries like this - for things like pretty printing, firing up text editors (like the interactive_editor gem which invokes Vim from irb - see this post), debuggers and the like. The library I am trying to wr...

Creating a "two way" configuration file

Hello everybody, I am writing a PHP application targeted at non-geeks, non-programmers. I need to create an option page with a bunch of "options" and then store those options...somewhere.

Pros and cons for different configuration formats?

I've seen people using *.cfg (Python Buildout), *.xml (Gnome), *.json (Chrome extension), *.yaml (Google App Engine), *.ini and even *.py for app configuration files (like Django).
