Greetings, I hope you're doing well. I'm stuck in a strange issue,
most likely due to my own ignorance. I'm reading a config file using
ConfigParser module and passing database related info to _mssql.


[ ... ]


Config file looks like following

[DB_INFO]
server = server
database = database
user = user
password = password



A config file isn't a Python file: you don't need (and
don't want) double-quotes around those values.

server_info = config.get(DB_INFO,server)

but following does work

Ok, if you are this far: what prevents you from trying

print server_info, db, username, pwd

and being aware that IF there are  around, they are not part of the 
string representation, but they are really there.

[DB_INFO]

I think if you will have seen the output above, you will probably see 
what is wrong here: too many s. :-)


HTH  HAND!
