I had thought of recommending what Peter Hansen recommended - just
importing the text you have as a Python module. I don't know why I
recommended ConfigParser over that option. However, if you don't like
what Peter said and would still like to look at ConfigParser, here is a
very simple example. Here is the config file I created from your email:
jmjones at qiwi 8:36AM configparser % cat foo.txt
[main]
PROJECT_ID = "E4208506"
SW_VERSION = "18d"
HW_VERSION = "2"
Here is me running ConfigParser from a Python shell:
In [1]: import ConfigParser
In [2]: p = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
In [3]: p.read("foo.txt")
Out[3]: ['foo.txt']
In [4]: p.get("main", "PROJECT_ID")
Out[4]: '"E4208506"'
Note that the value of ("main", "PROJECT_ID") is a string which contains
double quotes in it. If you take Peter's advice, you won't have that
problem; the config file will preserve your types for you.
