[Tutor] using configobj package to output quoted strings

[Alex Hall]

Hello all,
I am using the configobj package to handle a ridiculously simple ini
file, which takes the form:
[favorites]
"search name" = "search terms", "search type"

for any number of searches stored in the favorites section. I need the
search type, term, and name to be read in as strings, but they will
usually contain spaces, which is why I put them in quotes. Here is the
question: when I try to add a search to the ini file, I cannot get the
quotes to show up correctly. I just want my three strings enclosed in
single or double quotes, but I cannot manage to do it. I either get no
quotes, or, when I manually add them (such as "\""+searchTerms+"\""
and so on), I get strings surrounded by both double and single quotes.
All documentation for configobj talks about using quotes so that keys
and values will be read correctly, yet programmitically writing these
quotes is proving very difficult. I am not sure if this is a python
thing or a configobj thing, but it seems like it would be a relatively
simple task. Is there a simple function I do not know about that will
let me do this? Thanks.
