I've created a new mailing list for users of the ZConfig configuration library. (Yes, there was a request for such a beast!) The mailing list is run using Mailman at Zope.org; the subscription page is available at: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zconfig/ ZConfig is a configuration library intended for general use. It supports a hierarchical schema-driven configuration model that allows a schema to specify data conversion routines written in Python. ZConfig's model is very different from the model support by the ConfigParser module found in Python's standard library, and is more suitable to configuration-intensive applications. ZConfig schema are written in an XML-based language and are able to "import" schema components provided by Python packages. Since components are able to bind to conversion functions provided by Python code in the package (or elsewhere), configuration objects can be arbitrarily complex, with values that have been verified against arbitrary constraints. This makes it easy for applications to separate configuration support from configuration loading even with configuration data being defined and consumed by a wide range of separate packages. The current version of ZConfig is version 2.2.
