Having (possibly) surveyed all the available pypi config file modules, I
still haven't seen one that allows an obvious and familiar extension of
the strict Windows INI format. <br><br>
Each INI-style config module seems to enforce the strict rule: each
option in a section must have a different name - no duplicates.
Thus it is impossible to have a simple list, e.g.<br><br>
<tt> [pathset uk]<br>
pathpair:
/bath/*
to /london/*<br>
pathpair:
/bath/upload/**
to /london/*<br>
pathpair:
/firth/*
to /forth/*<br>
pathpair:
/firth/upload/**
to /forth/*<br><br>
</tt>Rather you must give each line a separate name, e.g. <br><br>
<tt> [pathset uk]<br>
pathpair001:
/bath/*
to /london/*<br>
pathpair002:
/bath/upload/**
to /london/*<br>
pathpair003:
/firth/*
to /forth/*<br>
pathpair004:
/firth/upload/**
to /forth/*<br>
| |
| |
| |<br>
pathpair068:
/glasgow/*
to /edinburgh/*<br>
pathpair069:
/glasgow/upload/**
to /edinburgh/*<br>
| |
| |
| |<br><br>
</tt>This is not ideal for a number of reasons. Do you know of a
library module that has the (optional?) ability to handle duplicate-named
options, returning them as a list?<br><br>
If instead someone can point me to a reasonable Apache-style config
module, that might also serve. I've looked for such and the few
found seemed to be either bare bones or clumsily stripped out of
something much larger.<br><br>
