I think you mean something like the attached.
No, the original one tries to strip ' plus \n, and then strip another
', from a line like
key = 'value'\n
I think you can do something like
values[key] = val.strip()
values[key].replace("'", '')
or, because this ugly part is translated from configure.m4, and the
whole key value business is used *only* for the next chk_fontenc, you
can remove it all, and replace it with things like:
allvars = open('chkconfig.vars').read()
if allvars.match('chk_fontenc = "yes"'):
addToRC(....)
else:
addToRC(....)
The match part is only a demonstration of idea.
