 From the docs on the validate method:

By default, the validate method either returns True (everything passed) 
or a dictionary of True / False representing pass/fail. The dictionary 
follows the structure of the ConfigObj.

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html#return-value

So in the event of a validation fail you will get a dictionary of values 
telling you which one(s) failed. This is going to evaluate as True if 
you check it in an if statement. Instead you should do (something like):

     result = configobj.validate(Validator())

     if result == True:
         # validation succeeded

All the best,
