Re: [Configobj-develop] validate() always returns True

[Mario A. <ma...@se...>]

If I change the config file:
JUNK = "foobar"
validate still returns True even though the spec file says JUNK is an 
integer.
I also tried with unrepr=True parameter to configObj().

I would think its better to use the latest version rather than 4.7.2?
Also, I'm using Python 2.6 for various other compatibility reasons.

This is such a simple example so what am I doing wrong?
