Last release: 2025-10-18

iniconfig is a small, simple INI file parser module for Python. It preserves the order of sections and entries, supports multi-line values and “#” comments, and reports errors with proper line numbers, with an Error raised if two sections share the same name.

Project status

  • Actively maintained: Yes, there is evidence of ongoing development (last upstream push on 2026-06-08), even though the most recent tagged update is older (v2.3.0 on 2025-10-18).
  • Updates cadence: Tagged updates are relatively infrequent overall (v2.0.0 in 2023, v2.1.0 in 2025-03, v2.2.0 and v2.3.0 both on 2025-10-18). After v2.3.0, there have been no new tagged updates for about 8 months, though upstream activity continued.

Recent updates

  • v2.3.0

    2025-10-18

    Version 2.3.0 adds a new IniConfig.parse() classmethod that can strip inline comments from values and introduces options related to Unicode whitespace handling. The implementation centralizes parsing logic in _parse.parse_ini_data and routes both IniConfig() and IniConfig.parse() through it with different defaults for comment stripping.

    Features

  • v2.2.0

    2025-10-18

    This release (v2.2.0) includes significant packaging and tooling changes, modernization for Python 3.10+ (and dropping Python 3.8 and 3.9), and a type-level refactor in the INI parsing internals. No publisher release notes were provided, so the changes below are inferred directly from the code and config diffs.

  • v2.1.0

    2025-03-24

    v2.1.0 is primarily a tooling and packaging update: it updates CI to test against Python 3.8-3.13, changes the publish action to use pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish@release/v1, and raises the project minimum Python version. The only library code-level changes in the diff are minor typing-import adjustments under TYPE_CHECKING.
