Configuration file contains sections, each section contains keys and values. configparser module can be used to read and write config files. Creating the configuration file:-

import configparser
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config['settings']={'resolution':'320x240',
                    'color':'blue'}
with open('example.ini', 'w') as configfile:
    config.write(configfile)
