editing a config file

[Mike Zupan]

I need to edit the value(s) of a config file via a GUI interface. I'm
trying to use ConfigParser but set() doesn't seem to write.

Here are my reading and writing functions

def getConfig(self, value=None):
config = ConfigParser.Co nfigParser()
config.readfp(o pen('config.inf '))
return config.defaults ()[value]

def setConfig(self, option, value):
config = ConfigParser.Co nfigParser()
config.readfp(o pen('config.inf ', 'a'))
config.set("DEF AULT", option, value)

The values are getting passed ok it just won't set the value to the
new value i have selected.

can anyone offer any hints?

Maybe you're simply missing a config.write('c onfig.inf')?
