set_section_option

set_section_option(section: str, name: str, value: str) → None

Set an option programmatically within the given section.

The section is created if it doesn’t exist already. The value here will override whatever was in the .ini file.

Parameters:

• section – name of the section
• 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.
