How to pass variable values to another config parameters?

Question

[plugin_jira]
maxuser=
finduser=
endpoint="https://nepallink.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/user/search?startAt=0&maxResults={maxi}&username={manche}%".format(maxi=maxresult,manche=user_find)

This is my config file , in the endpoints item why I am using the format is so that I can pass a variable to it in my script.The script where it is running is below ,my main.py

maxresult = config.get('plugin_jira', 'maxuser')
user_find = config.get('plugin_jira', 'finduser')
endpoint = config.get('plugin_jira', 'endpoint')

Now what I am confused is when I call the endpoints values in the script it just fetching what is in the config without the variable values that got defined just above it.

How can I make the variable value of maxresult and user_find added to endpoints which is defined to access it.

Don't use format in that file, just leave it with `{maxi}` and `{manche}`, use format after `config.get`: 1. `endpoint = config.get('plugin_jira', 'endpoint')`, 2. Check with if to be sure that endpoint is not None (null), 3. Use format function on `endpoint` variable in your code — Emin Mastizada, Mar 22 '17 at 07:15

In your config file, import the variables from main.py as following.

Config file:

from main import maxresult, user_find
[plugin_jira]
endpoint="https://nepallink.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/user/search?startAt=0&maxResults={maxi}&username={manche}%".format(maxi=maxresult,manche=user_find)

This will allow you to access the required variables to your endpoints.

Hope it helps!

This may solve but is really not a right way to do it,The config file wont look like a config file,is it a standard – Tara Prasad Gurung Mar 22 '17 at 07:06
