[Configobj-develop] Removing spaces from the output

[Manjunath S. <man...@gm...>]

I found that the config file generated by python-configobj cannot be
read by some programs
like gdm, because of a quirk. Instead of generating lines like below

command=X -br -audit :0

python-config puts a space on either side of the '=' as in below

command = X -br -audit :0

Is there an option where I can eliminate this space ?

Thanks,
Manju

There's no built-in way to do this.

You can either filter every line of the output with line.replace(' = ', 
'=') or add the functionality to ConfigObj itself (with tests and 
documentation patches preferably).
