[karthik Guru]

I got it!! thanks.

Let me just post it if it c'd be of some use to a fellow newbie!

This is what i had in the conf.txt file
---------

[server]
database:octago
user:sa
password:blank
[personal]
name:karthik
age:21
company:Aztec

---------

'personal' and 'server' are the sections.

config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
config.add_section("server")
config.add_section("personal")

//read the conf file

fname = open("conf.txt","r")
config.readfp(fname)

print config.get("server","database") // under the server section get the
value for the database key
>> octago
print config.get("personal","name")
>>karthik

python is fun and simple :-)
