> I would expect that this basic usage is very popular. If the file doesn't > exist, the normal usage pattern fails in a confusing way: (...) Well, the configparser is well defined. As you wrote: "If a file named in filenames cannot be opened, that file will be ignored." You can check if the file exists or not by checking read() result: "read(): (...) returning a list of filenames which were successfully parsed." https://docs.python.org/dev/library/configparser.html#configparser.ConfigParser.read I suggest to close this issue as "not a bug". -- For me, a better option would be to be able to pass an open file to configparser. So the caller can decide how to handle the open() error. ---------- nosy: +vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35448> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
