TOML isn't much better than ConfigParser in terms of representing nested structures.
Indeed, that seems to be a strong point against TOML. If we don't care about nested structures that much, then ConfigParser should be more or less ok…
TOML is infinitely better at nested structured that ConfigParser, given that TOML actually *supports* nested structures beyond a level of 1. The only way to get anything like: [package.build] dependencies = ["setuptools", "wheel"] In ConfigParser is to add post-processing to the values, which then you're no longer a "ConfigParser" file, you're a "ConfigParser + Whatever random one off code you wrote to do post processing" file. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
