======

pyconfigini is a .ini style config file parser modeled on [Zend_Config_Ini](http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.config.adapters.ini.html).  

Lines beginning with '#' are treated as comments.  

It supports section inheritance and uses the '.' character for namespacing values. E.g.

	

	# This is a global value

	global = True

	 

    [production]

    database.host = db.example.com

    database.port = 3306

    database.user = prod

    database.pass = prod_password

    [dev : production]

    database.host = localhost

    database.user = dev

    database.pass = dev_password

pyconfigini exposes one function `parse_ini` which takes 2 arguments: the path (relative or absoloute) of the config file to be parsed, and (optionally) the section to load.  

If no section is specified it will load all sections and the section name must be used to access values. E.g.

    config = parse_ini('example.ini')

    print config.global # prints (boolean) True

    print config.production.database.host

    vs.

    config = parse_ini('example.ini', 'production')

    print config.global # prints (boolean) True

    print config.database.host
