Reading a config file from a shell script
I am looking for a shell script analog to something like Pythons's ConfigParser or Perl's Config::INI.  I have sourced files in the past to accomplish this, but I'd prefer to read rather than execute my "config file".  Does anyone know of anything comparable to the above modules available for shell (or bash) scripts?

Thanks,
Jerry
