New submission from Kunjesh Kaushik :
It is often desirable to be able to write a section with spaces around the
header, as in "[ default ]" instead of "[default]" for the sake of readability
of configuration file. I am not sure if this is the "standard" format
Kunjesh Kaushik 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'\[\s*(?P[^]]+)\s*\]') # as in the patch
>>> r.match('[ section
Kunjesh Kaushik added the comment:
I think we are dealing with two separate issues: a feature request for
sectionxform kind of functionality desirable in a future release (3.3 maybe)
and a behaviour issue in current releases (2.x and 3.x both). I suggest we
split the two issues and solve
Kunjesh Kaushik added the comment:
Very well, then. I would rely on sub-classing for now. The patch would work for
me as I am only reading configuration. :)
And yes, I wouldn't deny the personal bias anyway. Thanks a lot for all your
help, folks. Keep up the good
