Comments in configuration files

[Pierre Quentel]

Bonjour,

I am developing an application and I have a configuration file with a 
lot of comments to help the application users understand what the 
options mean

I would like it to be editable, through a web browser or a GUI 
application. With ConfigParser I can read the configuration file and 
edit the options, but when I write the result all the comments are lost

Are there modules that work on the same kind of ini files (for the needs 
of my application, I prefer this format to XML or YAML) and don't remove 
the comments ?

TIA,
Pierre
