Skip Montanaro e99d5ea25b added __all__ lists to a number of Python modules
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.

Fred Drake 2a37f9f862 Allow spaces in section names.
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.

Guido van Rossum 4126736791 When reading the file, option names were not passed through
self.optionxform(), which (in the default case) caused options spelled
with opper case letters in their name to be inaccessible.  Reported by
"Todd R. Palmer" <t2palmer@bellsouth.net> on
activepython@listserv1.ActiveState.com.

Eric S. Raymond 649685ad9b ConfigParser enhancements to edit existing configs, part 2 2000-07-14 14:28:22 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond 417c489def Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to write
a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call.  Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.

This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed.  Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.

I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.
Documentation for the new entry points included.

Fred Drake fd4114e7b8 ConfigParser.read():
Instead of wrapping 'filenames' value in a list if it's a
        string, wrap it if it's a string or unicode string.

Fred Drake 1ab41fc680 Fix comments relating to the specific regexs used to parse section and
option names; errors noted by Greg Stein <gstein@lyra.org>.

Fred Drake c517b9b406 (Finally!) Changes related to the ConfigParser/INI-file topics
discussed on c.l.py last January.  Specifically:
  - more characters allowed in section & option names
  - if '=' is used to separate the option & value, the value can be
    followed by a comment of the form '\s;'

Barry Warsaw 2539451fb9 fixed a typo in a docstring, and slightly expanded the module
docstring info for readfp().

Guido van Rossum a5a24b76f4 Added has_option(); fix bug in get() which botched interpolation if
'%(' was found in first position (found by Fred Drake).

Guido van Rossum 6a8d84b0c1 Urmpfh!
Withdraw the change that Fred just checked in -- it was a poorly
documented feature, not a bug, to ignore I/O errors in read().

The new docstring explains the reason for the feature:
"""
this is designed so that you can specifiy a list of potential
configuration file locations (e.g. current directory, user's home
directory, systemwide directory), and all existing configuration files
in the list will be read.
"""

Also add a lower-level function, readfp(), which takes an open file
object (and optionally a filename).

XXX There are some other problems with this module, but I don't have
time to dig into these; in particular, there are complaints that the
%(name)s substitution from the [DEFAULTS] section doesn't work
correctly.

Fred Drake 2438a485c8 ConfigParser.read(): Don't mask IOError exceptions. 1999-10-04 18:11:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9e480adf9b Patch suggested (and partially provided) by Lars Damerow: instead of
always lowercasing the option name, call a method optionxform() which
can be overridden.  Also make the regexps SECTRE and OPTRE non-private
variables so they can also be overridden.

Guido van Rossum 72ce85823c Fix by Chris Petrilli (to his own code) to limit the number of
iterations looking for expansions to 10.

Guido van Rossum c0780ac8f3 From: Mike Orr <mso@oz.net>
In the docstring of ConfigParser.py  (Python 1.5.2b1):
    read(*filenames) -- read and parse the list of named configuration files

should be:
    read(filenames) -- read and parse the list of named configuration files

The method accepts a list, not a bunch of positional arguments.
Which is good, the list is much more convenient.

Barry Warsaw f09f6a5565 Re-format the module docstring and document the new get() argument. 1999-01-26 22:01:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e6506e753b Patch by Chris Petrilli (not really tested since I don't know this
module myself) to accept an option keyword argument (vars) that is
substituted on top of the defaults that were setup in __init__.  The
patch also fixes the problem where you can't have recusive references
inside your configuration file.

Barry Warsaw 6446212593 Time machine experiment. Use '__name__' as the special key (always
present) that refers to the section name.  Also added a (slightly)
better InterpolationError error message, which includes the raw
string.

Barry Warsaw bfa3f6b673 Several changes:
1. Convert to using re module

2. Added two new exception classes

    a. MissingSectionHeaderError which signals an early parsing
       exception when options appear in the file before any section
       header.  Previously a bogus TypeError was thrown deeper down.

    b. ParsingError which collates any non-fatal parsing errors.
       ConfigParser.read() will raise this after the entire file was
       parsed if any errors occurred during parsing (client could just
       catch the exception and continue, because the ConfigParser
       instance would still be initialized with the valid data).

   (small note: Error.__msg => Error._msg)

3. ConfigParser.__read() now uses re which has the following minor
   semantic change: underscore is now allowed in section header and
   option name.  Also, because of the old regexps, theoretically.
   Fixed continuation line bug reported by F. Lundh.

4. It seemed that the old ConfigParser automatically added the option
   `name' to every section, which contained the name of the section.
   This seemed bogus to me so I took it out.

Guido van Rossum 45e2fbc2e7 Mass check-in after untabifying all files that need it. 1998-03-26 21:13:24 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5da0f504ba get(): Fixed a bug in the merge order of the dictionaries. This makes
a copy of the defaults dictionary and merges the section's dictionary
into it so that sections can override the defaults.

Guido van Rossum 3d20986d96 Checking in ConfigParser.py -- I don't see a reason why this can't be
liberated.  This was originally written by Ken and later revamped by
Barry.
