It may also be useful to compare with other config alternatives, such as ZConfig.

ZConfig takes a completely different approach than ConfigParser; it rocks but you do need to do more work (define a schema first, then a configuration file, although I usually do that in the reverse order ;).

I'm hoping someday ZConfig itself (or something close to it) will make it into the standard library.

Anyone who has interest in ZConfig is strongly encouraged to look at my alternative method as it is alot easier to set up and use and provides more flexibility. I'm hoping to see some cross-pollinating of ideas so your feedback would be greatly appreciated. I will be making an open source project on sourceforge in the near future (unless I hear compelling arguments to not) and will make announcements to advertise it's existance (any suggestions on posting locations is appreciated as well).
