In case this is not clear enough (wasn't clear to me either, the first time I saw it, what with talk of "continuations" in other contexts), it basically means that the values for a config option can span multiple lines. A line starting with whitespace is considered to be a "continuation" of the previous line. Polaar -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
