How to load environment variables in a config.ini file?
0
I have a config.ini file which contains some properties but I want to read the environment variables inside the config file.
[section1]
prop1:(from envrinment variable) or value1
Is this possible or do I have to write a method to take care of that?
python configuration ini

@RoryDaulton - not a duplicate! That one read the values fromini filewhereas I want to read the environment values inini file. So that I can switch to default if env variables aren't available.

Your purpose is still not clear. By definition, an "environment variable" is a value held by the operating system (Windows or DOS), not in a file. However, you are able to store any regular text, such as contents of an environment variable, in aninifile. What do you want that is not easily doable in the other question? Perhaps you should explain your purpose in more detail.
