There's a number of issues, mainly minor. I list them in descending
priority order.

1. the zip file, *and* the main directory inside it, should be named
   "configobj-4.0.0b1";

2. we should have a simple "setup.py" file in there;

3. a friend of mine pointed out two problems:

  3a. the two doctests in the ConfigObj class docstring should raise
      DuplicateError, but instead raise ConfigObjError;

  3b. we may want to try minimizing the usage of the isinstance
      built-in, especially to allow passing dict-like objects that
      are not subclasses of dict;

4. we may want to omit the private API docs, by using the
   "--no-private" switch of the epydoc command;

5. it would be nice to have a tar.gz file on Sourceforge, in addition
   to the zip: it's smaller than the zip, and more "native" to Linux;

6. the "BSD-LICENSE.txt" and the generated HTML files have CRLF
   line endings, while the sources have LF ones. Also, the
   "configobj.txt" has LF ones, except for the HTML fragment at the
   end, that has ten CRLF endings.

I'll check issues 2. , 3a. and 3b . Let me know how to address issue 6. .
