Description: Module to access and modify configuration data in INI files
 iniparse is a INI parser for Python which is:
 .
  * Compatible with ConfigParser: Backward compatible implementations of
    ConfigParser, RawConfigParser, and SafeConfigParser are included that are
    API-compatible with the Python standard library. They pass all the unit
    tests in Python-2.4.4.
 .
  * Preserves structure of INI files: Order of sections & options, indentation,
    comments, and blank lines are preserved as far as possible when data is
    updated.
 .
  * More convenient: Values can be accessed using dotted notation
    (cfg.user.name), or using container syntax (cfg['user']['name']).
 .
 It is very useful for config files that are updated both by users and by
 programs, since it is very disorienting for a user to have her config file
 completely rearranged whenever a program changes it. iniparse also allows
 making the order of entries in a config file significant, which is desirable
 in applications like image galleries.
