Package: python-configobj
Version: 4.4.0-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
thanks for maintaining ConfigObj.
I'm using ConfigObj merge operations and list_value=False, and I've
found that in some cases ConfigObj adds spurious double quotes artifacts
to parsed string values.
This is the code that reproduces the problem:
from configobj import ConfigObj
from StringIO import StringIO
# A normal ConfigObj
co = ConfigObj()
# Note: this is the same as doing:
# co = ConfigObj(list_values = True)
# If I use a ConfigObj with list_values=False, the problem does not
# show.
# Create a new section
co["test"] = dict()
# Merge in options with list values turned off
co1 = ConfigObj(list_values = False)
co1["foo"] = "bar, baz"
co["test"].merge(co1)
# Write it out
buf = StringIO()
co.write(buf)
# Read it again
buf1 = StringIO(buf.getvalue())
co2 = ConfigObj(infile = buf1, list_values = False)
# test/foo gets extra double quotes
print co2["test"]["foo"]
The last line prints:
"bar, baz"
With double quotes: the double quotes have been parsed as part of the
string, rather than stripped as syntactic sugar of the config file
syntax.
Ciao,
Enrico
