Python: How to ensure you have imported the correct configuration file

I am currently debugging a script and i believe the issue is the configuration file not being read (jupyter notebook). I can confirm both the script and the .config file is located in the below directory

os.getcwd()

'C:\\Users\\User'

pwd

---output---
'C:\\Users\\User'

below here is the attempt to read the file

configParser = configparser.RawConfigParser()
config_path = r'C:\Users\User\cartpole.config'
configParser.read(config_path)

---output---
['C:\\Users\\User\\cartpole.config']

config = neat.Config(neat.DefaultGenome, neat.DefaultReproduction,
                    neat.DefaultSpeciesSet, neat.DefaultStagnation,
                    config_path)

population = neat.Population(config)

How would i go about printing the configuration file to confirm if its being read?

Thank you.

If you just want to print the file:

with open('C:\\Users\\User\\cartpole.config', 'r') as f:
        for line in f:
            print(line)

EDIT: To make sure that you reference the same file:

configParser = configparser.RawConfigParser()
config_path = r'C:\Users\User\cartpole.config'

with open(config_path, 'r') as f:
    for line in f:
        print(line)
configParser.read(config_path)

If you find yourself in the situation where the config file is correct, but you still do not see your configurations, the problem is probably in your ConfigParser class.
