How do I modify a configuration file using python? -


i have cfg file. in cfg file there line like:

[environment] automation_type=gfx   ;available options: gem, hexaii 

i want modify line by:

[environment] automation_type=abc   ;available options: gem, hexaii 

i have written below code this:

get_path_for_od_cfg = r"c:\users\marahama\desktop\abdur\abc_mainreleasefolder\od\od\odconfig.cfg"     config = configparser.rawconfigparser()     config.read(get_path_for_opendebug_cfg)     sec in config.sections():         attr in config.options(sec):             if sec =='environment' , attr == 'automation_type':                 config.set('environment','automation_type','abc')     open(get_path_for_opendebug_cfg, 'wb') configfile:         config.write(configfile) 

after executing code, get

[environment] automation_type = abc 

";available options: gem, hexaii" line missing. 

as source code suggests, when reading config files, comments ignored, both on separate lines (484)...

if line.strip() == '' or line[0] in '#;':      continue 

and on option lines (522):

if vi in ('=', ':') , ';' in optval:      # ';' comment delimiter if follows      # spacing character      pos = optval.find(';')      if pos != -1 , optval[pos-1].isspace():          optval = optval[:pos] 

so agree comment above saying should switch more low-level if care preserving comments.
