Storing a list of people's names and birthdays in an INI config file can be a straightforward and organized way to manage such data. Here's an example of how you can structure an INI config file for this purpose:

[birthdays]
Alice = 1990-05-15
Bob = 1985-08-25
Charlie = 1992-03-10

In this example, the section [birthdays] is used to group the names and birthdays. Each person's name is associated with their birthday using the format Name = Date.

You can use Python's configparser module to read and write data to INI files. Here's a simple Python function for reading the data from the INI file:

import configparser

def read_birthday_ini(filename):
    """
    Read a list of people's names and birthdays from an INI file.

    Args:
        filename (str): The path to the INI file.

    Returns:
        dict: A dictionary containing names as keys and birthdays as values.
    """
    birthdays = {}
    config = configparser.ConfigParser()
    config.read(filename)
    
    if 'birthdays' in config:
        birthdays = dict(config['birthdays'])
    
    return birthdays

You can call this function with the path to your INI file to obtain a dictionary with names and birthdays. Remember to replace "filename.ini" with the actual filename you're using.

This approach should work well for managing a list of people's names and birthdays in a structured and easy-to-maintain manner.

Remember to replace `"filename.ini"` with the actual filename you're using.
