Unfortunately, no. Without the validator, everything ConfigObj returns is a
string.

However, there are some useful utility functions in weeutil.weeutil:
to_int(), to_float(), and to_bool(), which take care of possible 'None'
values. They are sprinkled throughout WeeWX, wherever a conversion needs to
take place.
