Both patches are now included in the SVN repo. Thanks again for them,
Robin, and sorry for not having come round to them sooner.


ConfigObj now supports both ConfigParser-style and Template-style
interpolation, with a more consistent search strategy (see docs).

I added new tests to configobj_test.py based on this one and on the other
.ini file.


A new release containing these changes will have to wait for the further
changes that are coming up in the pipeline. In the meantime, the SVN repo
is reliable and tested. Please let us know any problems these changes may
cause to your config files.
