I would like to parse a generated .ini file containing some config parameters, but I am a little uncertain of the format used. I am not able to change the format of the generated .ini file. This is a snippet of what the format looks like:

[Sensors]
Sensors = {
    (
        [0]={
            SensorType=Camera
            Refresh=30
        }
    )}

I am able to access the Sensors variable with the following code:

import configparser

config = configparser.ConfigParser()
path = "my_config.ini"
config.read(path)
single_sensor = config["Sensors"]["Sensors"]
print(single_sensor)

Output:

{
(
[0]={
SensorType=Camera
Refresh=30
}
)}

The problem is that this is a string that I can not parse further the same way. Let’s say I want to access SensorType. Then the following syntax would not work:

single_sensor = config["Sensors"]["Sensors"]["0"]["SensorType"]

So how could I go about parsing a .ini file in this format? Would I have to parse the string separately after retrieving what I can using the .ini section syntax?
