ConfigParser: writes a list but reads a string?

It looks like ConfigParser will accept a list to be writing to the *.ini file; but when reading it back in, it treats it as a string. Example: ### import ConfigParser def whatzit(thingname, thing): print thingname, "value:", thing print thingname, "length:", len(

Is there already a Python module to access the USPTO web site?

I have the need to run periodic searches on the US Patent and Trademark Office website, . I need a Python module to do this. Before I reinvent the wheel, I thought I'd check to see if anyone knew of such a beast. For instance, I'd like to be able to pass an argument like o
