Note the docs also say this was added in 2.4.
I just looked at the http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/RawConfigParser-objects.html (note the version number) and see the following: "If none of the named files exist, the ConfigParser instance will contain an empty dataset." Which to me means []. To the least of it, the statement should be clarified, but I would still kindly prefer to have someone respond / confirm the procedure bellow gives different results in 2.3.x. >> >>> import ConfigParser >> >>> cfg = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() >> >>> a = cfg.read('adsfasfdasfd') >> >>> a, len(a), type(a) >> ([], 0, <type 'list'>) Thx in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
