Let's say you want to use the configparser Your conf file looks like this:

[user.auth]
username = my
password = password

In your code you should use it like this :

import configparser


config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read("C:\myconf\defaults.cfg")

then you should get your credentials like this:

username = config.get('user.auth', 'username')
password = config.get('user.auth', 'password')
