Re: [Configobj-develop] newbie error

[David H. <neg...@gm...>]

Ha!  Good catch.

Yeah, he's ending up with a cfg that has the following:

>>> cfg.filename
'c:\temp\\config.ini'
>>> cfg.dict()
{}
>>>

Thus... an empty data set because it never opened any existing file for parsing.

And as soon as he fixes that, he'll get the following:

configobj.configobj.DuplicateError: Duplicate keyword name at line 3.


cheers,

-hoss
