configparser

I have been searching stack exchange and around the web for how to do this, but I cannot understand how to mock behaviors for methods. I am trying to mock openpyxl behaviors and behaviors for my custom class. Here is my attempt: import unittest from unittest.mock import MagicMock import openpyxl from MyPythonFile import MyClass class TestMyClass(unittest.TestCase): def test_myclass(self): myclass = MyClass() wb = openpyxl.workbook() ws = openpyxl.worksheet() wbPath = 'wbPath' openpyxl.load_workbook(wbPath, data_only = True) = MagicMock(return_value=wb) When I try the final line I get the error

Should I use ConfigParser which is compatible with python 2.7 and 3.x or do you suggest any other module in python which is compatible with both versions of python for reading config file? You can make use of configparser backport, so it will work on both Python version. pip install configparser Contrary to the other answers here, you don't need to install any extra packages to write INI-parsing code that is compatible with Python 2 and 3. Python 3.0's configparser is just a renamed version of Python 2's ConfigParser . There have been some extra features added in Python 3.2 and 3.5 (see the

Is there any solution to force the RawConfigParser.write() method to export the config file with an alphabetical sort? Even if the original/loaded config file is sorted, the module mixes the section and the options into the sections arbitrarily, and is really annoying to edit manually a huge unsorted config file. PD: I'm using python 2.6 Three solutions: Pass in a dict type (second argument to the constructor) which returns the keys in your preferred sort order. Extend the class and overload write() (just copy this method from the original source and modify it). Copy the file ConfigParser.py

I have something like this in my config file (a config option that contains a list of strings): [filters] filtersToCheck = ['foo', '192.168.1.2', 'barbaz'] Is there a more elegant (built-in) way to get a list from filtersToCheck instead of removing the brackets, single-quotes, spaces and then using split() to do that? Maybe a different module? (Using python3.) You cannot use the python object like a list in the value for the config file. But you can ofcourse have them as comma separated values and once you get it do a split [filters] filtersToCheck = foo,192.168.1.2,barbaz and do

I'm using Python's ConfigParser to create a configuration file. I want to check if a section has a particular option defined and, if it does, get the value. If the option isn't defined, I just want to continue without any special behavior. There seem to be two ways of doing this. if config.has_option('Options', 'myoption'): OPTION = config.get('Options', 'myoption') Or: try: OPTION = config.get('Options', 'myoption') except ConfigParser.NoOptionError: pass Is one method preferred over the other? The if involves less lines, but I've occasionally read that try / except is considered more
