Re: [Configobj-develop] Validation is slow

[Tom <to...@go...>]

Hi,

want i want is a configobj only with the spec. Then i want to use this
object to validate a simple dict and i want to use the same configobj
ever time i have to validate a dict.
Actually i create a new configobj every time i want to validate a dict.
That's very slow.
How can i do this?

Cheers,

Tom
