ConfigParser
ConfigParser is a Python standard library module for reading and writing configuration files, typically in the INI file format. It provides a simple API to parse configuration data from files, allowing developers to manage settings like database connections, API keys, and application preferences. The module supports sections, key-value pairs, and interpolation, making it useful for organizing hierarchical configuration data.
Developers should use ConfigParser when building Python applications that require external configuration management, such as web apps, scripts, or tools needing environment-specific settings. It is ideal for scenarios where configuration needs to be stored in human-readable files (e.g., for deployment or user customization) and when interoperability with INI-style files is required, such as in legacy systems or cross-platform projects.
