ConfigObj
ConfigObj is a simple but powerful config file reader and writer for Python applications. It is very easy to use and has a straightforward programmer's interface and a simple syntax for config files. It also supports nested sections to any level, list values, multiple line values, string interpolation, a powerful validation system, including automatic type checking and conversion, repeated sections, default values, preservation of comments and the order of keys and sections, and no external dependencies.
