Łukasz Langa <luk...@langa.pl> added the comment: The original patch was of no use because didn't let users specify multicharacter delimiters and comment delimiters.
The main goal behind the implementation was making monstrosities like the Samba configuration file work. This is why a sample smb.conf is added to the tests as to show what is now parsable. The patch is called issue1682942.diff and is quite big. Georg, Brian, before you panic, please note the following: the old test suite with the new code works (which means it's by default backwards compatible). With a patch of that size it also might just be easier for you to browse the patched code and not the patch itself. The Doc/ part still needs work but after 10 hours of coding I have enough for today :) ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file18214/issue1682942.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1682942> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
