Re: [Configobj-develop] configobj exceptionlist

[David B. <da...@gm...>]

Apparently i was looking at the documentation for an older version of configobj.

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj3.html#exceptions 

My apologies. However, I still need a way to prevent configobj from stopping when it finds a duplicate key word entry. The link you posted says that the default for raise_errors is False and that parsing should continue. However for my program it stops parsing and the program exits. I did find that i can define the following in my program and it works for me:

def _handle_error(self, text, ErrorClass, infile, cur_index):
	##the next two lines i added to stop duplicate
	##entries from causing problems
	if ErrorClass ==configobj.DuplicateError:
		return
	##this is the end of the changes i made.
	line = infile[cur_index]
	cur_index += 1
	message = text % cur_index
	error = ErrorClass(message, cur_index, line)
	if self.raise_errors:
	# raise the error - parsing stops here
		raise error
	# store the error
	# reraise when parsing has finished
	self._errors.append(error)
configobj.ConfigObj._handle_error=_handle_error

This works but im not sure that this is "good coding" practice.
The following is the problem im am having.
>>>x=configobj.ConfigObj("conf")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/configobj.py", line 1272, in __init__
    self._load(infile, configspec)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/configobj.py", line 1355, in _load
    raise error
configobj.DuplicateError: Duplicate keyword name at line 3.
>>> 
the conf file looks like this:
[conf]
value1= workgroup
value1=workgroup2

Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David
