Terry J. Reedy <[email protected]> added the comment:
Since the code and doc agree, and since the proposal is to add a call
parameter, this would be an enhancement for next release only, not a bug fix.
The proposal seems reasonable. I might use it for IDLE.
IDLE uses .read within this subclass method.
def Load(self):
"Load the configuration file from disk."
if self.file: # '' for at least some tests
self.read(self.file)
The default config files in idlelib should be present. (I should see what
happens if not. Does every 'get' pass a seeming redundant and possibly
inconsistent backup default?) I might use the new parameter here.
User override config files and even the config directory are optional, so the
current behavior is fine.
