Re: [Configobj-develop] Make ConfigObj and Section oredered

[Arash A. <aza...@gm...>]

As far as I try , it does not preserve , here is a sample code :

*config = configobj.ConfigObj()*
*config.filename = "file.name"*
*procedure={}*
*loop={'sweep':[],'contents':OrderedDict()}*
*config['procedure']=procedure*
*config['procedure']['var_1']=1*
*config['procedure']['var_2']=1*
*config['procedure']['loop.1']=loop*
*config['procedure']['var_3']=1*
*config.write()*
*
*
*for i in config['procedure'] :*
*    print i,'=',str(config['procedure'][i])*
*    if i.find('loop')==0:*
*        for j in config['procedure'][i]:*
*            print j,'=',str(config['procedure'][i])*
*
*
Output is :
*
*
*
var_1 = 1
var_2 = 1
var_3 = 1  <--------- This is out of order.It should be printed last of all.
loop.1 = {'sweep': [], 'contents': {}}
sweep = {'sweep': [], 'contents': {}}
contents = {'sweep': [], 'contents': {}}
*
