iniconfig

iniconfig is a minimal, read-only INI-file parser maintained under the pytest-dev umbrella. It preserves section and key order, supports multi-line values, strips `#` comments from structure (not inline values in <2.3), raises `ParseError` with accurate line numbers, and rejects duplicate section names. Current stable version is 2.3.0, released 2024. Release cadence is irregular but healthy, driven by pytest ecosystem needs.
