ConfigParser and newlines

I am using ConfigParser to parse a config file and I want to maintain the newlines, how is it possible. Example given below. BTW, is there an alternative to configParser, should I use 'exec' instead. Is there any support for yaml built-in or possibly in the future? test.cfg [Foo_Secti

Concurrent tasklets in Stackless Python

Is there a way for multiple tasklets to run in parallel? I have been following the examples in http://members.verizon.net/olsongt/stackless/why_stackless.html but it seems that tasklets block for data or are scheduled and there is no way to run them concurrently. -- Thanks, Minesh Patel -- http
