Re: [Configobj-develop] Single Element Lists

[Sumit's M. L. <li...@ba...>]

I must have midread my logs earlier. The following does return a one
element list, even if I have trailing whitespace:

  value = foo,

So that works fine. Thanks. :) The only other question I had was I
didn't see anything in the docs for optional arguments. I realize I can
use the following to set a default:

   name = string(default='')

And I can just check for the empty string, but this doesn't really work
with other types:

  minRange = integer(default=?)

I can't really use -1 because that's a valid range and there are some
sections where this is totally optional and needs to be treated
differently if it's not set.

Is there a way to make some arguments optional, but still assign them a
type if they're present?
