Dead simple example of using ConfigParser to pull values from a config file.

parseconfig.py

import ConfigParser

config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
config.read('config.ini')

CLIENT_ID = config.get('general', 'CLIENT_ID', 0)
CLIENT_SECRET = config.get('general', 'CLIENT_SECRET', 0)

Here's what the exmaple config.cfg file looks like:

[general]
CLIENT_ID='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
CLIENT_SECRET='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
