Yes - API generation is an interesting subject which I'd like to work on
sometimes. Preferably an answer integrated with docutils in some way or

There are Epydoc generated docs for ConfigObj 3 online (and in the
distro) - and I imagine we'll do the same for ConfigObj 4.

extensible).

Also I suspect timestamp is non trivial but possible.

Yes - I enjoyed chatting.

No... SPE is my current IDE. I doubt I will do any development on it
