It is very common for cross platform programs to create configuration
files which are dotfiles, whichever OS they are running on.

a nuisance that you can't instantiate an 'object',
to use as a mutable 'namespace', but instead have to define an arbitrary
empty class.
What happened to the 'namespace' proposal ?

Hello all,
Feel free to shoot this down, but a suggestion.
The operator module defines two functions :
isMappingType
isSquenceType
These return a guesstimation as to whether an object passed in supports
the mapping and sequence protocols.
These protocols are loosely defined. Any obje

Hello all,
I understand that old style classes are slated to disappear in Python 3000.
Does this mean that the following will be a syntax error :
class Something:
pass
*or* that instead it will automatically inherit from object ?
The latter would break a few orders of magnitude less code o
ecated instead of being enhanced in-place.

figObj allows values in the root section - meaning that
for simple config files you aren't *forced* to have an arbitrary 'section'.
