That is another way to go around this. Anyway, ConfigParser is the least predictable of all three for end users and the documentation should be adjusted to emphasize this. > Maintainers of legacy software > using ConfigParser should be encouraged to convert to SafeConfigParser > (or even RawConfigParser) if possible. That's another comment that should appear in the documentation. > Documentation changes should be sufficient; deprecation warnings > typically generate more pain than good. Isn't is what I was saying above? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6517> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
