You could use the validate library directly. ConfigObj will attempt to 
validate against the whole configspec, but you could pull the keys out 
of the configspec / dict and only validate against rules you actually 
need (I assume this is your intent?).

The documentation for validate can be found at:

     http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/validate.html

You may first need to read your configspec into a ConfigObj instance. 
The correct way to do this is:

     from configobj import ConfigObj
     spec = ConfigObj(filename, list_values=False, _inspec=True)

HTH.

All the best,
