Python ConfigParser cannot search .ini file correctly (Ubuntu 14, Python 3.4)

by

if you use relative paths for file or directory names python will look for them (or create them) in your current working directory (the $PWD variable in bash).

if you want to have them relative to the current python file, you can use (python 3.4)

from pathlib import Path
HERE = Path(__file__).parent.resolve()
CONFIG_PATH = HERE / '../etc/mysql_config.ini'

or (python 2.7)

import os.path
HERE = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
CONFIG_PATH = os.path.join(HERE, '../etc/mysql_config.ini')

if your mysql_config.ini file lives in the etc directory below your python script.

you could of course always use absolute paths (starting with a /; i.e. /home/someuser/mysql_config.ini).
