S.Fourmanoit <sy...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Daniel,
I see many people relying on print() and exec() to basically perform the same task miniconf does: dumping and loading groups of parameters in a human-readable, 100% pythonic form. Look in the wild: http://www.google.com/search?q=exec+filetype:py I think that if we had a painless, almost drop-in replacement to do the same thing without risking feeding arbitrary code to the interpreter, we would use it. Anyway, thanks for the work of Bob Ippolito, we now have a json module in the standard library: it's fast, robust, and can pretty much cover the same use case, so I am happy; It just feels slightly weird to save and load configuration files in a javascript syntax from python apps. :-D ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1527597> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
