Łukasz Langa <luk...@langa.pl> added the comment: Éric, first thing: forget about the current patch because it's very much incomplete.
Second thing, while I normally would agree with you about the ['section']['key'] idea, in this case the current syntax has following advantages: - we can implement a cohesive mapping protocol that extends to get(), del, in, etc. For now get() seems somewhat similar to what dictionaries give you and I would build on that (adding a `default` attribute would be another thing). - manipulation on the internal structures is much simpler when we have a single key like that. Having config['name'] return the section would make us create another proxy object just to support mutating keys in the section. I can see arguments for and against this approach but overall, it looks nice. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5412> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
