Hello all, The following changes to the validate module are now in SVN: A couple of documentation bug fixes. Removed CHANGELOG from module. Bugfix: we weren't unquoting keyword arguments of length two, so an empty string didn't work as a default. Bugfix: Strings no longer pass the 'is_list' check. Additionally, the list checks always return lists. Added 'tuple' check and corresponding 'is_tuple' function (which always returns a tuple). All the best, Michael |

Superb. Glad to see the list conversion bug is fixed.

Cool, it would be great if you could test the version in SVN to see if it really fixes your problems (and doesn't introduce new ones). Next I'm looking at adding 'reset', 'reload' and 'restore_defaults' (your patch) to ConfigObj. If I add these methods then the new release will be version 4.5.0 I guess. I'd lake to make some other changes to the API - but as these break backwards compatibility they will have to wait some unspecified length of time for a version 5: 'write' should return a string rather than a list of strings if there is no filename. The options dictionary parameter in the constructor doesn't really make sense.

I use it because I use the constructor in several places, and this way I only have to change options once. But maybe this is a minority position. Frederik |

I've tested, and no problems detected so far (strings are no longer accepted for lists). Arve > > Next I'm looking at adding 'reset', 'reload' and 'restore_defaults' > (your patch) to ConfigObj.
