New submission from Daniël van Eeden: With Python 2.7 the ConfigParser was enriched with the allow_no_value option which resulted in a much more usable configparser for MySQL configs.
It can now parse configs like this: [mysqld] log_bin innodb_file_per_table innodb_io_capacity=800 However it can't parse this config: [mysqld] log_bin innodb_file_per_table innodb_io_capacity=800 replicate-do-db="test1" replicate-do-db="test2" A comma separated config might have been better, but that's not the case with many MySQL config (and probably doesn't even work for this option). >From >http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options-slave.html#option_mysqld_replicate-do-db "To specify more than one database, use this option multiple times, once for each database" The dict/orderedDict which is used by configparser doesn't easlily allow to store a config like this. The MySQL config file is used as an example in the documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html#customizing-parser-behaviour This could be solved by having a list of values if the key exists more than once. Python 3 improves this a bit by giving a DuplicateOptionError by default. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: demo.py messages: 217012 nosy: dveeden priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: configparser can't parse MySQL style config versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file35001/demo.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21329> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
