Yes I meant that sorry.

Well no, but also because it just gets raw strings, and doesn't do any
validation.
With ConfigObj I can do simply a spec file
skip_pesky_pyc_paths = string_list
include_extra_paths = string_list
use_real_dependencies = bool(default=False)
compute_dependencies_recursively = bool(default=False)
And the options which are not declared will default automatically to
that value.
And also I never really liked the ConfigParser API..
Anyway I solved just leaving these long lists somewhere else, but otherwise
I think a better solution would be YAML in general (which doesn't have
much validation either
apparently).
