Support for using Wireguard config files

[gaby]

Are there plans to add support for Wireguard native config files instead of JSON?

[dadevel]

Do you know a library that can parse them? Previously I had a go with pythons built-in ini parser, but it doesn't handle repeated sections.

@dadevel Probably this one: https://github.com/fictivekin/wireguard it has support for loading and writing WireGuard configs using Python.

[dadevel]

Maybe you can hack something together?

Previously I had a go with pythons built-in ini parser, but it doesn't handle repeated sections.

the configparser module supports repeated sections with strict=False

import configparser
config = configparser.ConfigParser(strict=False)

#config.read("config.ini")
config.read_string("""
[a]
a1=1

[a]
a2=2
""")

print(dict(config['a'])) # {'a1': '1', 'a2': '2'}

stackoverflow: Parsing configure file with same section name in python

edit: nope. multiple Interface or Peer sections should not be merged

Maybe reopen this issue as it is does not seems resolved?

I wont work on this feature myself, because I don't have a use case for it, but I welcome every pull request.
