I am writing a config.ini
file for my python project. I want to mention the standard date format of a column.
Something like this
prod_db_end_date = 2017-01-01
prod_db_end_date_format = %Y-%m-%d
But it interpolates something else and errors out. Could someone please let me know how to use this?
Error traceback - File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\configparser.py", line 443, in _interpolate_some
"found: %r" % (rest,))
configparser.InterpolationSyntaxError: '%' must be followed by '%' or '(', found: '%Y-%m-%d'
You have three options:
Disable interpolation, or pick a different interpolation handler. You can set the
interpolation
option toNone
to disable interpolation for the whole file:See the Interpolation of values section.
Access that specific value with interpolation disabled, setting
raw=True
for theConfigParser.get()
method:Double the
%
characters to%%
