title: How to read properties file in python
body: <p>I have a property file called <code>Configuration.properties</code> containing:</p>
  <pre><code>path=/usr/bin
  db=mysql
  data_path=/temp
  </code></pre>
  <p>I need to read this file and use the variable such as <code>path</code>, <code>db</code>, and <code>data_path</code> in my subsequent scripts.
  Can I do this using configParser or simply reading the file and getting the value.</p>
  <p>Thanks in Advance.</p>
