Steve Merritt added the comment: We're using Python dictionaries to express sizeable (read: 100-600 lines) chunks of configuration data. We previously used JSON, but we now use Jinja2 to template chunks of this configuration data, and JSON's inability to handle trailing commas creates a problem here. So we've been using ast.literal_eval, but the lack of line numbers makes debugging problems with the configurations a painful process.
