I think we were too careless with ConfigParser.
I think I was on vacation when ConfigParser was added, and I still remember being quite surprised that it landed in the Python CVS. I'd love to see that module frozen (in the sense of "let's not even *try* to fix it), and come up with a more reasonable API that takes a single syntax (.ini file syntax is fine; let's not invent one). It might be worth looking at the GConf API used in Gnome; I'm not sure how it compares. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> PythonLabs at Zope Corporation
