Hi all,
I have some general question about the configuration file of elisa:
Where is in your python sources the class that deals with read/write in your
configuration file ?
In our case it is in elisa-core/elisa/extern/configobj.py
Why didn't you use a real .ini config file format ? I mean, one that that would
be read/written easily within other application with standard ini file reader,
instead of rewriting each time a config file reader/writer...
Well, we didn't actually decide for our own format and wrote a new
reader. This kind of Ini-Like-Configuration-File is a very common format
in python. Mostly because there is a build-in python module that handels
it quiet well: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-ConfigParser.html .
So reading and writing such configuration file is really easy for python.
I ask this as i tried to make a php interface of the configuration file, to be
able to configure/manage elisa remotely, and i have to specifically write a
elisa.conf parser.
Very cool. But be aware of the fact, that you need to stop elisa BEFORE
changing the configuration file....
Thank you very much.
Denis.
hope, that helped you
