[Configobj-develop] Why doesn't **kwargs interpolate with python ConfigObj?

[Jacob B. <jak...@gm...>]

Hi!  I've just opened up a StackOverflow question about ConfigObj.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11314068/why-doesnt-kwargs-interpolate-with-python-configobj



I'm using ConfigObj <http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html> in
python with Template-style interpolation. Unwrapping my config dictionary
via ** doesn't seem to do interpolation. Is this a feature or a bug? Any
nice workarounds?

$ cat my.conf

foo = /test

bar = $foo/directory

>>> import configobj
>>> config = configobj.ConfigObj('my.conf', interpolation='Template')
>>> config['bar']
'/test/directory'
>>> '{bar}'.format(**config)
'$foo/directory'

I'd expect the second line to be /test/directory. Why doesn't interpolation
work with **kwargs?


Thanks for any help you can offer!
