 So basically, I need my config file to be created and read by my

 Here is a snippet
 
 # read old actions
 from ConfigParser import ConfigParser
 
 fp = open(makepath('App\qt_actions.conf'))
 configdict = ConfigParser()
 configdict.readfp(fp)
 
 
 Now I want to know how to read a section, a section attribute's value,
 and to write thoses back after reading.
 
 Thanks
 

The best place to start is always:

import ConfigParser
help(ConfigParser)


Example:

section='INIT'
option='logfile'

logfile=configdict.get(section, option)

most of the methods are self explanitory.

ConfigParser is derived from RawConfigParser, so you need
to look at RawConfigParser's docs here:

http://docs.python.org/lib/RawConfigParser-objects.html

You could do it simply with ConfigObj ( 
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html
):

from configobj import ConfigObj

config = ConfigObj(filename)
section = config['Section Name']
value = section['value']



section['value'] = newValue
config.write()

All the best,
