ConfigObj Description

ConfigObj is a simple but powerful config file reader and writer. ConfigObj is a simple but powerful config file reader and writer: an ini file round tripper. ConfigObj's main feature is that it is very easy to use, with a straightforward programmer's interface and a simple syntax for config files.ConfigObj 4 is a complete rewrite of ConfigObj. A great deal has been simplified and improved since ConfigObj 3. If you have used ConfigObj before then you need to read the section on backwards compatibility.ConfigObj now has a barrage of doctests built into it, testing almost every feature. Run python configobj.py -v to see them in action. Despite the tests, ConfigObj 4 is actually smaller than version 3 and has no external dependencies. Here are some key features of "ConfigObj": · Nested sections (subsections), to any level · List values · Multiple line values · String interpolation (substitution) · Integrated with a powerful validation system · including automatic type checking/conversion · repeated sections · and allowing default values · All comments in the file are preserved · The order of keys/sections is preserved · No external dependencies What's New in This Release: · An obscure bug when validating a configuration file with "copy=True" and "__many__" sections was fixed.
