Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdr...@acm.org> added the comment:
I've attached a diagnostic script that I ran with Python 2.4..3.2 (current py3k
HEAD); there are two output variants:
"old style":
[section]
option = None
"new style":
[section]
option
This is the output I get when running this script for each of those Python
versions:
2.4.6 RawConfigParser: old-style output
2.4.6 SafeConfigParser: raised TypeError on set
2.4.6 ConfigParser: old-style output
2.5.5 RawConfigParser: old-style output
2.5.5 SafeConfigParser: raised TypeError on set
2.5.5 ConfigParser: old-style output
2.6.5 RawConfigParser: old-style output
2.6.5 SafeConfigParser: raised TypeError on set
2.6.5 ConfigParser: old-style output
2.7 RawConfigParser: new-style output
2.7 SafeConfigParser: raised TypeError on set
2.7 ConfigParser: new-style output
3.1.1 RawConfigParser: old-style output
3.1.1 SafeConfigParser: raised TypeError on set
3.1.1 ConfigParser: old-style output
3.2a1+ RawConfigParser: new-style output
3.2a1+ SafeConfigParser: raised TypeError on set
3.2a1+ ConfigParser: new-style output
Essentially: For the RawConfigParser and ConfigParser classes, the output
changes in 2.7 and 3.2, and in a way that should be considered incorrect
because it conflicts with the allow_no_values setting.
This is a bug and should be fixed in both 2.7 and 3.2.
The TypeError-on-set is consistently raised only for SafeConfigParser, and
should remain unchanged. (Why this was handled differently for
SafeConfigParser I don't recall offhand.)
