🔒 i cant get Configparser to work

[glass void]

i have 3 files
Main.py

#!/bin/python3
from CreateConfig import *
CreateConfig()

from GetConfig import *
GetConfig()```

CreateConfig.py
```py
#!/bin/python3

import os
import configparser

def CreateConfig():
    home = os.path.expanduser("~")
    if os.path.exists(f"{home}/.config/config") == True:
        pass
    else:
        config = configparser.ConfigParser()
        config ["Config"] = {
            "idk":"Habicht"}
        with open(f"{home}/.config/config", "w") as ConfigFile:
            config.write(ConfigFile)```
GetConfig.py
```py
#!/bin/python3

import os
import configparser

def GetConfig():
    home = os.path.expanduser("~")
    config = configparser.ConfigParser()
    config.read(f"{home}/.config/config")
    Language = config["idk"]["Habicht"]```

this code fails on the last line in GetConfig.py and i dont understand why

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/luka/h/Main.py", line 7, in <module>
    GetConfig()
  File "/home/luka/h/GetConfig.py", line 10, in GetConfig
    Language = config["idk"]["Habicht"]
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/configparser.py", line 965, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'idk'

theres no value with the key "idk" in ur config i guess

[glass void]

this is the contents of my config file
[Config]
idk = Habicht

and its has been set in CreateConfig.py

[rotund hare]

huh than it should raise keyword error for Habicht i would think wierd

[glass void]

yeah, i dont know what im doing wrong, i have written this multiple times in different ways but i always get this error

[rotund hare]

oh as i see u should do ["Config"]["idk"] maybe?

[glass void]

thank you, that worked

[rotund hare]

its bc in CreateConfig i said config["Config"] = {"idk": data}
instead of
config["idk"] = data

use !solved or !close to close the thread

[glass void]

thank you

!close
