What you need is an option keyname in front of each password entry in
the [Passwords] section: I do this quite a lot:
[Passwords]
password_001=2:5020/758 xxxx
password_002=2:5020/794 yyyy
.
.
.
You can then get a list of passwords from .INI like this:
INI=ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
INI.read(inifilename)
section="Passwords"
passwordentries=[p for p in INI.options(section) if p.startswith('password_')]
passwordentries.sort() # If you want to process them in order
or to get list of passwords
passwordlist=[INI.get(section, pk) for pk in passwordentries]
