New submission from Florian Höch: If a ParsingError occurs while reading a config file, the multi-line values collected while reading will never be joined because the error is raised before this can happen. This leads to very unexpected results, e.g. consider the following config.ini:
[DEFAULT] test = test invalid >>> cfg = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() >>> cfg.read(['config.ini']) This will raise a ParsingError as expected. But the option values that were parsed without error are now all lists instead of strings: >>> cfg.get('DEFAULT', test') ['test'] Patch attached. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: ConfigParser.py.patch keywords: patch messages: 242718 nosy: fhoech priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: ConfigParser._read doesn't join multi-line values collected while reading if a ParsingError occured type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file39312/ConfigParser.py.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24142> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
