Question re ConfigParser

[loial]

Given a section like

[Data]
value1
value2
value3


Can ConfigParser be easily used to put the values in a dictionary? If
so, how?

Dictionaries are key/value pairs. Do you expect 'value1' to be a key
or a value?

If the data is literally as you describe, and not key/value entries
(such as 'key1: value1' or 'key1=value1'), you would probably be
better off just stepping through the file, testing for the [data]
section and then reading the following lines into a list.
