ConfigParser.read_dict
- ConfigParser.read_dict(dictionary, source='<dict>')
Read configuration from a dictionary. Keys are section names, values are dictionaries with keys and values that should be present in the section. If the used dictionary type preserves order, sections and their keys will be added in order. All types held in the dictionary are converted to strings during reading, including section names, option names and keys. Optional second argument is the `source` specifying the name of the dictionary being read.
