set_main_option

set_main_option(name: str, value: str) → None

Set an option programmatically within the ‘main’ section.

This overrides whatever was in the .ini file.

Parameters:

• name – name of the value
• value – the value. Note that this value is passed to ConfigParser.set, which supports variable interpolation using pyformat (e.g. %(some_value)s). A raw percent sign not part of an interpolation symbol must therefore be escaped, e.g. %%. The given value may refer to another value already in the file using the interpolation format.
