Question

I need to write some input data files for a python program, and I need the full thing:

comments, spacing, variable = value, etc.

Is there any library (line argparser for command line arguments) for python or should I write my own?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Take a look at the ConfigParser module (renamed to configparser in Python 3).

Alternatively, you could simply write the input data using Python syntax, and import the result into your main program.
