Comment (by exarkun):
Still better, particularly considering the relative effort compared to the
interface in the above example, would be to just have BuildBot know how to
load a `master_cfg.json` file (should JSON be selected as the right
configuration format) and put the `fromjson.load` call somewhere in the
implementation of BuildBot itself, not in the "configuration file" exposed
to the admin for customization.
The former removes the attractive nuisance of a place to drop arbitrary,
inscrutable Python code (an attractive nuisance place directly in front of
every new buildbot user's face). The ability to use a Python-syntax
master.cfg would be retained for quite some time, of course, to support
old configurations and provide an escape hatch for functionality not yet
supported by the non-Python configuration file. However, my ultimate goal
would be to remove the unstructured dumping ground of master.cfg in favor
of non-Python configuration and a more structured configuration plugin
mechanism.
