New version of miniconf (version 1.2.0) is out [1][2], including a unrepr() function; that's the only change this time. Michael Foord wrote: > ConfigObj [3] gained an 'unrepr' mode a while back.

At the core, it use many of the same ideas and implementation techniques... In many ways, it is also a lot more advanced, specialized than miniconf: for instance, it introduce a new, specialized Config File format, while my effort aimed at keeping things minimal.

I am not especially fond of the current miniconf name either; I didn't find something more suitable, yet evocative of what it does; I would be glad to hear any suggestion you or the rest of the developers would have.
