Module Config Sections

[Nick Nachefski]

Hello,

How can I get a func module to parse config items from a section other than "[main]"?

Say I have this module:

class Testing(func_module.FuncModule):
version = "0.0.1"
api_version = "0.0.1"
description = "Testing Module"

class Config(BaseConfig):
main_var = Option()
other_var = Option()

def configdump(self):
return self.config_items()

And this corresponding config file:

[main]
main_var = "some string"

[other]
other_var = "some other string"


When I run the configdump method, the variable under [other] never gets populated.

I see in the BaseConfig class that the populate method is hard coded to "main"

opts.populate(confparser, 'main')


I'm converting a stand-alone python script to a func module and have quite a few variables to store in the config file. It would be nice if I could section these out. Is this possible?

Without checking what func uses to store/retrieve configuration
settings, this is what i always use:


from configobj import ConfigObj
config = ConfigObj('your_config_file')
section = config['other']
other_var = section['other_var']
print "The value is %s" % other_var

HTH
