Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. >Category: None >Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: S.Fourmanoit (syfou) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: New module: miniconf Initial Comment: Find enclosed a new data persistence module: miniconf, that basically allows the casual creation and reading of configuration files and similar simple data sets. I ended-up using part of this code in many projects I did in Python (such as adesklets), and many other fellow developers borrowed it from me, so I though it could be nice to have it as a part of the standard library. So I cleaned it up, re-factored it as a simple, standalone module, and here it is, complete with documentation and its test module. Find enclosed a patch against svn trunck (Python 2.5b2, revision 50794). It changes nothing to the tree, besides adding a one-liner to Doc/lib/lib.tex to reference the new documentation. The module also works untouched on Python 2.4.3; I will be glad to provide a patch against any other tree if you want me too; all comments are of course welcomed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-07-24 19:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 You'll at least have to raise this on the python-dev list. It is most probable that you're then asked to let a user base grow by making the module available e.g. via Cheese Shop and report back at a time where 2.6 is nearing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: S.Fourmanoit (syfou) Date: 2006-07-24 16:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1175491 > Have you published this on the Python Cheese Shop? If did not; without being trivial, I felt this was both generic and useful enough to be worth the inclusion into the base library; I managed to miss the feature freeze on python 2.5 -- sorry about that... I don't mind submitting it to the Python Cheese Shop, if it is the right track to have it eventually committed to Python code base; miniconf having virtually no collateral impact on the rest of the code, it is indeed perfectly suitable for distribution as a standalone module for both the 2.4.x and incoming 2.5.x Python interpreters. I don't mind either waiting for the end of the feature freeze, keeping the module up to date as needed against any new code. I am foreign to the development cycle of Python -- do you know what will be the next window of opportunity? Into the incoming 2.5 tree when it will be out of the freeze? Into python 2.6? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-07-24 13:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Have you published this on the Python Cheese Shop? This might be the more appropriate way to make this module known to other Python developers since there's no way to include it in 2.5 any more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1527597&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
