[Configobj-develop] Bug when using __many__ for values?

[Helmut G. <h.g...@cy...>]

Hi,

Please CC me in a reply, because I am not subscribed to the mailing
list.

The documentation section 5.1.2.3[1] explains how to force all values of a
section to have the same type.

I tried this using the following example.

***snip***
import configobj
import validate

spec = configobj.ConfigObj("""
[test]
__many__ = integer
""".splitlines(), interpolation=False, list_values=False)

config = configobj.ConfigObj("""
[test]
spam = not an integer
""".splitlines(), configspec=spec)

print config.validate(validate.Validator())
***snip***

The expected outcome would be False, because spam is "not an integer".
The observed outcome in contrast is True. Changing __many__ to spam
gives the expected outcome False.

So what is wrong here?

Helmut
