[Configobj-develop] Default Values

[Mark L. <mw...@po...>]

According to the docs:
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html#default-values
"You can set a default value in your check. If the value is missing from 
the config file then this value will be used instead."

I think I'm making an incorrect assumption about retrieving default 
values from the dict, as illustrated here:

File test.spec containing only:
key1 = integer(0, 30, default=15)
key2 = integer(default=15)

File test.conf containing only:
key1 = 5

 >>> c = ConfigObj( 'test.conf', configspec='test.spec' )
 >>> c
{'key1': '5'}
 >>> c.configspec
{'key2': 'integer(default=15)', 'key1': 'integer(0, 30, default=15)'}
 >>> c['key1']
'5'
 >>> c['key2']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\configobj.py", line 337, in 
__getitem__
    val = dict.__getitem__(self, key)
KeyError: 'key2'

Shouldn't this return the default value, in this case 15? Is there a 
different method I should be using for retrieving values? I can't find 
anything in the documentation or via introspection. I specifically want 
the defaults specified in an external file and not in the code using 
something like c.get('key2',15).

I'm using configobj version 4.2.0beta2
