Hi Rob,

Thanks for the fast reply.

Yeap I got to voidspace, will get it from github.

Hhm, actually this works for me:

pip3.4.exe install -U configobj==5.0.5

Gave me the correct one, I think and then un-installed and tried again 
without a version number and got 5.0.5 again.

[Rob D. <rd...@gm...>]

Validate is certainly intended to by 3 compatible and we have tests running on 3.2 and 3.3. However, to get the appropriate version of validate, you should use the one that's packaged with configobj. This is a bit confusing for a new person, and long term I don't think there's a case for packaging it separately (the current one exists for backwards compatibility).


If you don't mind me asking, what lead you to try pip installing validate? I tried removing all references to doing that from the (new) official docs, but perhaps I missed one. 




If you found the docs on voidspace, I'm afraid those are the pre-python 3 compatibility work Eli and I have done and I'd recommend find configobj on github or readthedocs.

[Configobj-develop] pip install on Py 3.4

[Werner <wer...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am just trying out configobj and validate and I get this error when 
trying to install validate on Py 3.4 I get the following error.

configobj installed fine, is validate not yet Py3 compatible?

[Configobj-develop] configobj 5.0.4 on Linux

[Mario A. <ma...@se...>]

I'm trying to use 'configobj' but not having much success:
(1) It appears that validate() ALWAYS returns True, even if my config 
file does not conform to spec.
(2) If I repeat one of the sub-sections in the "many" section I get:

[Configobj-develop] Configobj 5.0.0 on pypi, github page updated with lot of updated information

[Rob D. <rd...@gm...>]

Hello again everybody,

Wanted to let you know that ConfigObj 5.0.0 is
uploaded<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/configobj/5.0.0>and the docs are
updated and moved to
readthedocs.org <http://configobj.readthedocs.org/en/5.0.0/>

The common theme for both of these, is that we (Eli and I, as
co-maintainers) left everything unchanged compared to 4.7.2 aside from:
- changing the list of supported versions from 2.3 - 2.6 to 2.6 - 3.3 and
doing what was necessary to support that range
- references in the documentation to old homepages, repositories and
version numbers

For now, the primary focus is fixing an bugs introduced by the python 3
support, and though we'll be using it ourselves in a python 3 environment,
we encourage you to post any issue you have, no matter how small, to the
github page: https://github.com/DiffSK/configobj

Thanks :),
-Rob

Re: [Configobj-develop] Source and Issue hosting now moved to github

[David H. <neg...@gm...>]

Hey Rob,

That's good news.  Thanks for taking the initiative.  And as always, thanks
to Michael Foord for being a talented, pragmatic, and welcoming package
author.

I'm a longtime user of configobj/validate, and though I've not often chimed
in here, I like to think of myself as an advocate.  I've gotten quite a few
friends/co-workers/projects to adopt configobj over the years, and always
look forward to integrating it into my work.

If you ever need any help shouldering the maintenance burden, or need to
solicit bug fixes, documentation updates, etc.. whatever, please don't
hesitate to ask.  I'll try to bump this up a few notches on my todo list,
and be more pro-active.

Cheers!

-hoss

[Configobj-develop] Source and Issue hosting now moved to github

[Rob D. <rd...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

My name is Rob Dennis, and I'm one of the new maintainers of configobj.
After using it for a long time at both home and my job, I realized I needed
python 3 support. After working to maintain Python 2 and 3 compatibility in
a single code base, I reached out to Michael Foord, who graciously allowed
us to release it as a new configobj version 5.0.0 (only change from 4.7.2
being a new set of supported python versions: 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3) and
take over maintenance of the project.

The repository is at: https://github.com/DiffSK/configobj

And I look forward to answering any questions you may have, or accepting
any issue tickets you want to make. I confess I'm not too familiar with the
sourceforge mailing list setup, and the simpler workflow may be to open an
issue on github for anything you're wondering about. Even if it's just a
question, having it in one place will better allow the maintainers to take
action on it.

Thanks, :)
-Rob

Well, the goal with validate was to create a reusable library that could be used for validation against arbitrary text sources. So if you find it useful *great*. I've not directly tried it for yaml or json, but I can imagine it being useful there.

[Configobj-develop] configobj for Python3

[Frank B. <fra...@pr...>]

Hi,

I have adapted configobj to make it usable with Python3. You can find my
version on Github on the following URL:

    https://github.com/fbrehm/configobj.git

in branch 'develop'. I gave this version the number 4.7.3.

In the attached patch there are all changes I have made on the files
configobj.py and validate.py.

In the GIT repository in branch develop there are more changes,
especially unittests in directory test.


Cheers


Frank

Re: [Configobj-develop] Change comment symbol

[Jason U. <ent...@gm...>]

I suppose it'd be best to make this configurable, defaulting to "#".
Ideally, set the comment chars before loading the file.

[Configobj-develop] Change comment symbol

[Nikita A M. <men...@gm...>]

Hi all!

A have ini file used by php application and parse_ini_file function uses
";" for comments.

I need to validate a config file and prefer to use python and configobj for
this, but in configobj "#" used for comments.

Can I use other symbols? Or how can I extend configobj to use ";" for
comments?

Re: [Configobj-develop] multiple files

[Lars L. <la...@mo...>]

I used this solution for the same problem in some of my work at Mozilla:


import re


class ConfigObjWithIncludes(configobj.ConfigObj):
    """This derived class is an extention to ConfigObj that adds nested
    includes to ini files.  Here's an example:

    app.ini:
        [source]
        +include ./db.ini

        [destination]
        +include ./db.ini

    when the 'app.ini' file is loaded, ConfigObj will respond as if the file
    had been written like this:

Correct. Those references would be resolved when the individual files were loaded, so cross file references wouldn't work.

It would be. I'm not actively working on configobj at the moment I'm afraid. Have a look at configglue instead which does have an include system.

For configobj you can use multiple ini files and the "merge" method to combine them into a single ConfigObj.

[Configobj-develop] multiple files

ConfigObj if we split the ini into multiple files? Thanks.

Hello Cornell,

Yes, I think you're correct. I'm not currently working on configobj but if you file an issue on the issue tracker it won't get lost if someone picks up working on it:

All the best,

ConfigObj is pure Python and so will work fine with 64bit Python. I don't know why your install didn't work though. Note that although the library is referred to as "ConfigObj" the module is actually named "configobj". Confusing I know, my apologies.

All the best,

[Configobj-develop] x64 Python 2.7 Compatible

[Avery P. <ape...@ge...>]

Is there a build of ConfigObj out there that works with 64-bit Python v2.7?

I tried installing ConfigObj on top of a flavor of x64 Python 2.7 and it doesn't work...says it can't find the ConfigObj module - I'm assuming because ConfigObj is 32-bit only, is that right?

Thanks,

Avery
