Hi Mike - thanks for putting out configobj. I switched from configParser , though I'm very new to programming and config tools.

I'm writing a code to profile large tables with many columns. In the process, I need configuration as below

[Include_table]
leads
[[exclude_column]]
lead_id
opportunity
[[exclude_column]]
[[opty_id]]
[[opty_create_date]]

etc..

What it means that

1. the process will first read the leads table, and do profiling for all the columns except for lead_id.
2. Next process should take the table opportunity and do profiling for all the columns except opty_id and opty_Create_date

With this context, I'm not able to find as to how I define my config.ini to achieve the above so that I can use configobj to read this config.ini

any pointers would be great.

thanks, ronak
