Question

I have a config file like this.

[rects]
rect1=(2,2,10,10)
rect2=(12,8,2,10)

I need to loop through the values and convert them to tuples.
I then need to make a tuple of the tuples like

((2,2,10,10), (12,8,2,10))

Answer 1

To turn the strings into tuples of ints (which is, I assume, what you want), you can use a regex like this:

x = "(1,2,3)"
t = tuple(int(v) for v in re.findall("[0-9]+", x))

And you can use, say, configparser to parse the config file.
