[Rest2web-develop] ConfigObj Beta 2 release

[Michael F. <mi...@pc...>]

Hello All,

I'm finalising the beta 2 release of ConfigObj.

Amendments to the validate.py exception classes have been made. Docs and
API docs updated accordingly.

A setup.py for configobj and validate has been created. I'm using this
to create the source distributions and manually adding docs (etc). I'm
not intending to build a windows executable installer, or to hack the
setup.py to move the docs for the user.

The *distributed* API docs no longer include the private objects. This
means that the ``Section`` object (and methods) don't get documented in
the API docs. This *doesn't* apply to the online version.

All distributed text/html should now have LF line endings rather than
CR/LF.....

The name of the zipfile has changed. It is now
``configobj-4.0.0b2.zip``. This does have the side effect that there is
no canonical download URL for the *latest* version [#]_. I could *also*
create (and maintain) a ``configobj-LATEST.zip`` [#]_, but I can't be
bothered.....

Also - the doctests mean that all the docstrings are invalid ReST.
Epydoc leaves them as plain text, which still looks pretty good.

Changes committed - release and announcement following shortly...

Last minute proof reading/tests/checks still appreciated.

All the best,

.. [#] Meaning that download links in downloaded documentation, and also
online in validate.html and other places, go out of date.
.. [#] This is the approach that David Mertz uses with his GnosisUtils.
This is also the reason I was just using ``configobj.zip``.
