Personally, I'd prefer to have the different candidates in the Shootout be evaluated and a "winner" picked (I'm not sure who would do this, or when it would be done). I'll readily declare an interest - I've implemented an alternative hierarchical config module (which is in no way backward compatible with ConfigParser), see http://www.red-dove.com/python_config.html Regards, Vinay Sajip _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
