[Tutor] Problems with ConfigParser set method

[dave selby]

Hi All,

I am using the ConfigParser module, I can 'get' from a config file
fine, when I try to set it, it silently fails. the code.

        parser = ConfigParser.SafeConfigParser()
        parser.read('./daemon.rc')
        print parser.get('feeds', 'number')
        parser.set('feeds', 'number',  '99')
        print parser.get('feeds', 'number')

there is a section [feeds], and option number, it is set to 1. If I
execute the script I get ...

dave at dev-machine:/var/lib/kmotion/daemons$ ./daemon_start.py
1
99
dave at dev-machine:/var/lib/kmotion/daemons$ ./daemon_start.py
1
99
dave at dev-machine:/var/lib/kmotion/daemons$


The first call returns as expected, the second should return 99, 99
not 1, 99. On opening daemons.rc the 'number' option is not changed.

Any ideas ?

Cheers

Dave
