Brian Curtin <cur...@acm.org> added the comment: Although you say this is fairly common, I haven't heard of anyone using or requesting this type of feature. Do you have any real-world use cases for this? Before we start adding more read methods I think we should know who wants them and why.
I'm not sure duplicates should raise exceptions. To me, the current behavior of using the last read section/option is fine. It's predictable and it works. Halting a program's operation due to duplicate sections/options seems a bit harsh to me. ---------- nosy: +brian.curtin stage: -> patch review _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9452> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
