python: parse text config and store-CodePudding

I have a config file in following format:

# some comment
keyword1=value1
keyword2=value2
...

where values could be text strings (e.g. /usr/local/lib/...), numbers, IP addresses (10.10.10.1/24). I'd like to be able to parse the configuration and store internally (may be as dictionary).

I'm newbie with python, in bash I used source my_config.cfg.

what is the right way parse/store config options in python? As a newbie, I'd start with:

with open("my_config.cfg", "rt") as f:
   ...

but what do I do next, call f.redline() in a loop until end of file?

CodePudding user response：

def parse_cfg(filename):
    data = {}
    with open(filename) as f:
        for line in f:
            if line.startswith("#"):
                continue
            if "=" in line:
                key, value = line.split("=")
                data[key.strip()] = value.strip()
    return data

You can add custom logic to this.
