[New-bugs-announce] [issue5412] extend configparser to support [] syntax

[Jeff Kaufman]

New submission from Jeff Kaufman <jkaufman at bbn.com>:

This is a patch against the configparser in the cvs version of 3.1 to
support [] notation:

>>> import configparser_patched
>>> config = configparser_patched.SafeConfigParser()
>>> config.add_section("spam")
>>> config["spam", "eggs"] = "yummy"
>>> config["spam", "eggs"]
'yummy'
>>> del config["spam", "eggs"]
>>> 

The functions are just syntactic sugar for the simple forms of "get",
"set", and "remove_option".
