Kunjesh Kaushik <kunjesh.kaus...@gmail.com> added the comment: Mr. Raymond has raised a valid point. On second thought, I think the submitted patch won't resolve the issue.
>>> import re >>> r = re.compile(r'\[\s*(?P<header>[^]]+)\s*\]') # as in the patch >>> r.match('[ section header ]').group('header') # still has issues 'section header ' ISTM, the only solution to this problem is to strip the section headers while parsing the file. Subsequent access mechanism should also follow suit. IMHO, section headers should be made case-insensitive as well -- similar to option keys. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11027> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
