[Rest2web-develop] Some More Progres

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

Well - thats enough hacking for 1 night. 

2005/07/21
Changed Section.sequence to Section.scalars and Section.sections
Added Section.configspec
Sections in the root section now have no extra indentation
Comments now better supported in Section and preserved by ConfigObj
Comments also written out
Implemented initial_comment and final_comment
A scalar value after a section will now raise an error

Well done.

I *knew* I had better put my little fingers at rest. I hope you didn't try
to commit your changes, I undid mine just now, go ahead and commit yours, I
have the patch with my changes and will reapply the relevant ones sooner or
later.

Ah, the beauty of Version Control. :-)

The nice thing is that everywhere that used ``Section.sequence`` could
just use ``(Section.scalars + Section.sections)``. It was only used
*inside* Section methods - so I just had to go through carefully
changing them.

I've now *fully* implemented comment support as well - although it's
possible there are bugfixes still to do (of course). Seems to work though.

No - I'd just checked out your version, and was downloading the win32
binaries for pygtk so I could get meld working. I prefer your idea
though ;-)

I'll commit my changes now.

Except I was *sure* I'd already made the changes to ``validate`` - so
that it did the try..except business and changed values. Still - they're
simple changes.

The changes last night are the first *structural* changes to the core
parser since I first implemented it. (Only very slight changes - much
less than I expected).

I'd like to get ConfigObj banged out of the way. There's lots I'd still
like to do to my website, which means more work on rest2web.

Getting ConfigObj finished/documented/packaged may still take a couple
of weeks - but I don't want it to take any longer (if possible - better
to get it right of course).

All the best.
