Hi,
This bug report will serve mainly to justify a stable upload of confget
that fixes the parsing of values containing "=" in INI files.
The problem was fixed upstream in version 2.3.4 and so is not present in
unstable and testing.
The problem may be reproduced trivially:
# Create a test.ini file containing a weird key/value pair
(buster-amd64)root@straylight:/cftest# cat > test.ini
[whee]
key=value=another=third
# The C implementation finds a variable named "key" with the weird value
(buster-amd64)root@straylight:/cftest# confget -f test.ini -s whee key
value=another=third
# The Python implementation finds the "whee" section, but then finds
# a variable named "key=value=another" inside
(buster-amd64)root@straylight:/cftest# python3 -c 'import confget; ccfg =
confget.Config([], filename="test.ini"); cbak = confget.BACKENDS["ini"](ccfg);
print(repr(cbak.read_file()))'
{'': {}, 'whee': {'key=value=another': 'third'}}
(buster-amd64)root@straylight:/cftest#
The fix is trivially backported from the upstream source; I will provide
it as a justification for a stable upload shortly.
G'luck,
Peter
