How to read and get the stored value from ini file in python script?

import configparser
config= configparser.ConfigParser()

config.read(r'C:\Users\PycharmProjects\Integration\local.ini')
print(config.sections())

Don't know what to do after this. I had tried this code

server = config.get('db','server')

It throws an output from print statement and an error. 

['"db"', '"Auth"']
configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'db'

local.ini file contains
["db"]
server=raj
log=ere2
["Auth"]
login=hi
Solution

  • Make ini file like this:

    [db]
server=raj
log=ere2
[Auth]
login=hi

    and import like:

    import configparser
config= configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read(r'C:\Users\PycharmProjects\Integration\local.ini')
server = config['db']['server']

    Or if you want the returned data to always be str, use:

    server = str(config['db']['server'])
