* Allow spaces in section names.Fred Drake2000-09-271-18/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do not expose the __name__ when reporting the list of options available for a section since that is for internal use. This closes SourceForge bug #115357. Additionally, define InterpolationDepthError and MAX_INTERPOLATION_DEPTH. The exception is raised by get*() when value interpolation cannot be completed within the defined recursion limit. The constant is only informative; changing it will not affect the allowed depth. Fix the exit from get() so that None is not returned if the depth is met or exceeded; either return the value of raise InterpolationDepthError.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* ConfigParser.read():Fred Drake2000-05-091-1/+1
| | | | | Instead of wrapping 'filenames' value in a list if it's a string, wrap it if it's a string or unicode string.

* (Finally!) Changes related to the ConfigParser/INI-file topicsFred Drake2000-02-281-5/+11
| | | | | | | discussed on c.l.py last January. Specifically: - more characters allowed in section & option names - if '=' is used to separate the option & value, the value can be followed by a comment of the form '\s;'

* Urmpfh!Guido van Rossum1999-10-041-8/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Withdraw the change that Fred just checked in -- it was a poorly documented feature, not a bug, to ignore I/O errors in read(). The new docstring explains the reason for the feature: """ this is designed so that you can specifiy a list of potential configuration file locations (e.g. current directory, user's home directory, systemwide directory), and all existing configuration files in the list will be read. """ Also add a lower-level function, readfp(), which takes an open file object (and optionally a filename). XXX There are some other problems with this module, but I don't have time to dig into these; in particular, there are complaints that the %(name)s substitution from the [DEFAULTS] section doesn't work correctly.

| | | | | | always lowercasing the option name, call a method optionxform() which can be overridden. Also make the regexps SECTRE and OPTRE non-private variables so they can also be overridden.

* From: Mike Orr <mso@oz.net>Guido van Rossum1999-01-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | In the docstring of ConfigParser.py (Python 1.5.2b1): read(*filenames) -- read and parse the list of named configuration files should be: read(filenames) -- read and parse the list of named configuration files The method accepts a list, not a bunch of positional arguments. Which is good, the list is much more convenient.

* Patch by Chris Petrilli (not really tested since I don't know thisGuido van Rossum1999-01-261-6/+17
| | | | | | | module myself) to accept an option keyword argument (vars) that is substituted on top of the defaults that were setup in __init__. The patch also fixes the problem where you can't have recusive references inside your configuration file.
* Time machine experiment. Use '__name__' as the special key (alwaysBarry Warsaw1998-08-061-6/+10
| | | | | | present) that refers to the section name. Also added a (slightly) better InterpolationError error message, which includes the raw string.
* Several changes:Barry Warsaw1998-07-011-40/+90
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Convert to using re module 2. Added two new exception classes a. MissingSectionHeaderError which signals an early parsing exception when options appear in the file before any section header. Previously a bogus TypeError was thrown deeper down. b. ParsingError which collates any non-fatal parsing errors. ConfigParser.read() will raise this after the entire file was parsed if any errors occurred during parsing (client could just catch the exception and continue, because the ConfigParser instance would still be initialized with the valid data). (small note: Error.__msg => Error._msg) 3. ConfigParser.__read() now uses re which has the following minor semantic change: underscore is now allowed in section header and option name. Also, because of the old regexps, theoretically. Fixed continuation line bug reported by F. Lundh. 4. It seemed that the old ConfigParser automatically added the option `name' to every section, which contained the name of the section. This seemed bogus to me so I took it out.
