How can a dictionary in python be exported to .properties file type in python?

What I have:

dict = {"key1":"sentence1", "key2":"sentence2"}

The object dict should be saved as .properties file in python, the output should look like this:

key1=sentence1
key2=sentence2

>Solution :

You could use python built-in library configparser

import configparser

dict = {"key1":"sentence1",  "key2":"sentence2"}

config = configparser.ConfigParser()

# some your default section
section_name = "default"
config.add_section(section_name)

for (k, v) in dict.items():
    config.set(section_name, k, v)

with open("config.properties", "w") as f:
    config.write(f)
