revision 1.39 of ConfigParser.py
[Bug #523301] ConfigParser.write() produces broken output for values that
were originally rfc822-like line continuations.
Modified version of a patch from Matthias Ralfs.
This patch allows ConfigParser.getboolean() to interpret TRUE,
FALSE, YES, NO, ON and OFF instead just '0' and '1'.
While just allowing '0' and '1' sounds more correct users often
demand to use more descriptive directives in configuration
files. Instead of forcing every programmer do brew his own
solution a system should include the batteries for this.
[My modification to the patch is a slight rewording of the docstring
and use of lowercase instead of uppercase templates. The code is
still case sensitive. GvR.]
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.
at least one addition to the set of accepted characters for every release
since this module was first added; this should take care of the problem
in a more substantial way.
This closes SF bug #132288.
added test script and expected output file as well
this closes patch 103297.
__all__ attributes will be added to other modules without first submitting
a patch, just adding the necessary line to the test script to verify
more-or-less correct implementation.
Do not expose the __name__ when reporting the list of options available
for a section since that is for internal use.
This closes SourceForge bug #115357.
Additionally, define InterpolationDepthError and MAX_INTERPOLATION_DEPTH.
The exception is raised by get*() when value interpolation cannot be
completed within the defined recursion limit. The constant is only
informative; changing it will not affect the allowed depth.
Fix the exit from get() so that None is not returned if the depth is met
or exceeded; either return the value of raise InterpolationDepthError.
