Hello,
I use configobj and validate to store configurations in Gaupol [1]. One
of the things saved in the configuration file is a list of patterns the
user has searched for. I just noticed that if the user searches for
"#", the string gets saved in the configuration file with no escaping or
quoting and upon reading seems to be interpreted as an in-line comment.
This is especially problematic if "#" is the first item in the list, in
which case the value is interpreted as an empty string instead of an
empty list!
I think the following patch to the "_quote" method should fix that.
