* SF bug #997050: Document, test, & check for non-string values in ↵David Goodger2004-10-031-6/+20
| | | | ConfigParser. Moved the new string-only restriction added in rev. 1.65 to the SafeConfigParser class, leaving existing ConfigParser & RawConfigParser behavior alone, and documented the conditions under which non-string values work.
* ConfigParser:Fred Drake2004-05-181-1/+3
| | | | | | - read() method returns a list of files parsed successfully - add tests, documentation (closes SF patch #677651)
* ConfigParser:Fred Drake2004-05-181-3/+2
| | | | | - DuplicateSectionError is only raised by add_section() (closes SF bug #830449)
* ConfigParser:Fred Drake2004-05-181-1/+3
| | | | | | | | - don't allow setting options to non-string values; raise TypeError when the value is set, instead of raising an arbitrary exception later (such as when string interpolation is performed) - add tests, documentation (closes SF bug #810843)
* ConfigParser:Fred Drake2004-05-181-0/+9
| | | | | | | | - ensure that option names in interpolations are handled by self.optionxform in the same way that other references to option names - add tests, documentation (closes SF bug #857881, patch #865455)

* Further cleanup of exceptions. All interpolation-related exceptionsFred Drake2002-12-311-3/+12
| | | | | now derive from InterpolationError, which is not raised directly (only subclasses get raised). This matches what the docs already said.

* Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hopeThomas Wouters2000-07-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-) I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an \index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{} does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a problem.
* Document the second round of ConfigParser changes.Eric S. Raymond2000-07-141-1/+14

* Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to writeEric S. Raymond2000-07-101-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read back in by a future read() call. Thus this class is now a back end for .ini editors as well as parsers. This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser implementation which I have not yet fixed. Because case information is discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed. I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool. Documentation for the new entry points included.
* From Greg Ward <gward@python.net>:Fred Drake2000-05-231-2/+2
| | | | Typo: "dictionairy" --> "dictionary" (twice).
* read() method: clarify that strings are accepted and interpretedFred Drake2000-05-091-1/+9
