Re: [Configobj-develop] reading sub-sections and repeated section names

[Nicolas M. <nic...@le...>]

So in my example, "config" is an instance of the ConfigObj object:

config = ConfigObj('PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE')

# Then you can start a loop :

for key in config[main_key]:
     is_a_subsection = isinstance(config[main_key][key],dict)
     if is_a_subsection:
         do something

So with your exemple, my "main_key" is the [header] and the key is your 
[[loop]]

You can understand it like this :
- open python in interractive mode :
python

- import configobj :
from configobj import ConfigObj

- create your configobj instance :
config =  ConfigObj('PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE')

- then display the content of config :
config

Here is an exerpt of my config file :

ConfigObj({'opghl': {'enable': 'yes', 'acc_host': 'ghl-acc', 
'acc_storage': '/home/fabric/postgres_repprod/', 'ghl': {'acc_db': 
'ghl-sync'}}, ...

So if you reconstruct the tree with that list :
[opghl]
enable = yes
acc_host = ghl-acc
acc_storage = /home/fabric/postgres_repprod/

     [[ghl]]
     acc_db = ghl-sync

that's because opghl is a dictionnary with some keys/values. And one of 
these keys ("ghl") is also a dictionnary.

So in my code isinstance test each keys into opghl (this is the 
"main_key"). So it test :
- enable
- acc_host
- acc_storage
- ghl

If one is a dictionnary then it goes through my condition (isinstance 
returns true).
