Accessing INI configuration from within Pyramid

I added some extra app specific sections to the ini file of
my Pyramid application. How can I get hold of the settings
from within my app (pyramid.config)?

You can use request.registry.settings, config.registry.settings, and other means, depending on the place in the code.

Just realized, you said a separate *section*.

Pyramid doesn't automatically parse settings. You can use the `pyramid.paster.get_appsettings(config_uri, name=None)` function to get at them.

Fraid all the answers I've seen so far are incorrect.

Pyramid doesn't know beans about sections other than the "app" secrion
in the config file. You'll need to use ConfigParser to parse the config
file again within your app.

Building on Chris's answer, you can get the path of the INI file easily in normal situations by checking global_config['__file__'] in your typical def main(global_config, **settings) signature.

My suggestion will work, as long as the section looks like a normal app section:

[app:mysettings]
use = call:my.package:no_op
a = 1
b = 2

Where the `no_op` function would look like this:

    def no_op(global_config, **settings): pass

To me, that's a lot easier than manually using ConfigParser.

Here's a gist demonstrating this approach: https://gist.github.com/4559038

Personally, I find ConfigParser (or is it RawConfigParser? SafeConfigParser?) a bit wonky. Pyramid (PasteDeploy under the hood) already adds a nice abstraction layer on top of it, so you might as well use it.
