python ConfigParser read file doesn't exist
configparser, exception, python
Solution
From the docs:
If none of the named files exist, the `ConfigParser` instance will contain an empty dataset.
If you want to raise an error in case any of the files is not found then you can try:
files = ['test1.ini', 'test2.ini']
dataset = config.read(files)
if len(dataset) != len(files):
raise ValueError("Failed to open/find all config files")
Problem
``` import ConfigParser config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() config.read('test.ini') ``` This is how we read a configuration file in Python. But what if the 'test.ini' file doesn't exist? Why doesn't this method throw an exception? How can I make it throw exception if the file doesn't exist?
