[issue24488] ConfigParser.getboolean fails on boolean options

[Andreas Hilboll]

New submission from Andreas Hilboll:

Not sure if this is by design (or if I'm doing something utterly stupid), but I 
often create a ConfigParser object for my application and then pass this around 
(or make it global).

So when I do something like

cfg.set("input_filter", "include_filtered", True)

and then 

cfg.getboolean("input_filter", "include_filtered")

I receive an error (AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'lower').

Wouldn't it be more sensible if getboolean would return the raw value in case 
the raw value is already a boolean?

If not, which would be the best way forward for me?

[issue19214] shutil.make_archive should recognize extensions in filenames

[Andreas Hilboll]

New submission from Andreas Hilboll:

shutil.make_archive should be able to automatically determine the desired 
*format* from the given filename. It would make life easier, because the 
programmer wouldn't need to strip the extension from the filename before 
passing it to make_archive. I'm think of something along the lines of

if base_path.lower().endswith(".zip"):
fmt = "zip"
base_path = base_path[:-4]
elif base_path.lower().endswith(".tar.gz") or 
base_path.lower().endswith(".tgz"):
fmt = "gztar"
base_path = base_path[:-7]
elif base_path.lower().endswith(".tar.bz2"):
fmt = "bztar"
base_path = base_path[:-8]
elif base_path.lower().endswith(".tar"):
fmt = "tar"
base_path = base_path[:-4]
