Mmh, but configobj does preserve all those as well. Darren's comment was about not being able to get a clean file when made purely from a HasTraits description. But when there is an existing file on disk, configobj is actually really good at preserving it. So it seems to me that iniparse appears to be a limited subset of configobj (we really want nested sections in ipython, and MPL has them as well already). It does have the a.b instead of a['b'] convenience, but we get that via traits anyway. Am I missing something?
