Were I adding that today, I'd use a more verbose (but more standard) format, like configparser or JSON. If any further use is going to be made of it, that should be considered. Colon-delimited is a pretty fragile format.

Presumably by Sphinx somewhere. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18085> _______________________________________
