Quentin Gallet-Gilles added the comment: I tried to come up with a patch, but the issue isn't as easy as it seems, the proposed change is too simplistic. Leading spaces in a line is already used for one purpose : continuations of a previous line. For instance : option = value continued here gives "option" as key and "value\n continued here" as value.
The proposal conflicts with this behavior, since having : option1 = value1 option2 = value2 creates only one key-value pair "option1":"value1\n option2=value2" Adding blank lines doesn't solve the issue. The only case when it's treated correctly is when the options is the first one of a section/file: there's no continuation since there's no previous option defined. One solution could be to check for the presence of a delimiter (colon or equals sign) and not treat it as a continuation if that's the case, but that could potentially break existing configurations files, since nothing forbids you from using delimiters in the values. Any opinion ? (By the way, the leading whitespaces for comments isn't affected by all this, the implementation is simple) ---------- nosy: +quentin.gallet-gilles _____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1524825> _____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
