[Configobj-develop] ConfigObj 4.4.0 and Validate 0.2.3

[<fuz...@vo...>]

{ran_emo} Updated versions of both `ConfigObj <http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html>`_ and `Validate <http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/validate.html>`_ are now available.

* `ConfigObj 4.4.0 <http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cgi-bin/voidspace/downman.py?file=configobj-4.4.0.zip>`_
* `Validate 0.2.3 <http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cgi-bin/voidspace/downman.py?file=validate.py>`_

**ConfigObj** is a Python module for the simple reading and writing of config files. It has many features, whilst remaining easy to use.

With the assistance of **Validate** it can validate a config file against a specification, and convert members to the expected type.

Thanks to Nicola Larosa who implemented most of the fixes in this release.
