Re: [Configobj-develop] Custom check function with a default value?

[Rob D. <rd...@gm...>]

Hello aps,

I'm one of the current maintainers, though this is an area where I have no
special experience/knowledge.

I did take a look at the in-code documentation, and it appears that the
code for looking for "default=<value>" is handled before it's ever passed
to the check function (the custom_bar you wrote). The function in question:
https://github.com/DiffSK/configobj/blob/master/validate.py#L616

have you tried adding a "default=<some_value>" to the configspec, without
changing your function?
