248
A dictionary-like object that represents a section in a config file.
250
It does string interpolation if the 'interpolate' attribute
251
of the 'main' object is set to True.
253
Interpolation is tried first from the 'DEFAULT' section of this object,
254
next from the 'DEFAULT' section of the parent, lastly the main object.
256
A Section will behave like an ordered dictionary - following the
257
order of the ``scalars`` and ``sections`` attributes.
258
You can use this to change the order of members.
260
Iteration follows the order: scalars, then sections.

Any unrecognised keyword arguments you pass to walk, will be pased on
595

597
Note: if ``call_on_sections`` is ``True`` then - on encountering a
598
subsection, *first* the function is called for the *whole* subsection,
599
and then recurses into it's members. This means your function must be
600
able to handle strings, dictionaries and lists. This allows you
601
to change the key of subsections as well as for ordinary members. The

return value when called on the whole subsection has to be discarded.
604

but you mustn't add or delete members.

def validate(self, validator, preserve_errors=False, section=None):
1974
Test the ConfigObj against a configspec.
1976
It uses the ``validator`` object from *validate.py*.
1978
To run ``validate`` on the current ConfigObj, call: ::
1980
test = config.validate(validator)
1982
(Normally having previously passed in the configspec when the ConfigObj
1983
was created - you can dynamically assign a dictionary of checks to the
1984
``configspec`` attribute of a section though).
1986
It returns ``True`` if everything passes, or a dictionary of
1987
pass/fails (True/False). If every member of a subsection passes, it
1988
will just have the value ``True``. (It also returns ``False`` if all
1991
In addition, it converts the values from strings to their native
1992
types if their checks pass (and ``stringify`` is set).
1994
If ``preserve_errors`` is ``True`` (``False`` is default) then instead
1995
of a marking a fail with a ``False``, it will preserve the actual
1996
exception object. This can contain info about the reason for failure.
1997
For example the ``VdtValueTooSmallError`` indeicates that the value
1998
supplied was too small. If a value (or section) is missing it will
1999
still be marked as ``False``.
2001
You must have the validate module to use ``preserve_errors=True``.
2003
You can then use the ``flatten_errors`` function to turn your nested
2004
results dictionary into a flattened list of failures - useful for
2005
displaying meaningful error messages.

def flatten_errors(cfg, res, levels=None, results=None):
2530
An example function that will turn a nested dictionary of results
2531
(as returned by ``ConfigObj.validate``) into a flat list.
2533
``cfg`` is the ConfigObj instance being checked, ``res`` is the results
2534
dictionary returned by ``validate``.
2536
(This is a recursive function, so you shouldn't use the ``levels`` or
2537
``results`` arguments - they are used by the function.
2539
Returns a list of keys that failed. Each member of the list is a tuple :
2542
([list of sections...], key, result)
2544
If ``validate`` was called with ``preserve_errors=False`` (the default)
2545
then ``result`` will always be ``False``.
2547
*list of sections* is a flattened list of sections that the key was found
2550
If the section was missing then key will be ``None``.
2552
If the value (or section) was missing then ``result`` will be ``False``.
2554
If ``validate`` was called with ``preserve_errors=True`` and a value
2555
was present, but failed the check, then ``result`` will be the exception
2556
object returned. You can use this as a string that describes the failure.
2558
For example *The value "3" is of the wrong type*.

INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
2978
====================
2980
(I have removed a lot of needless complications - this list is probably not
2981
conclusive, many option/attribute/method names have changed)
2985
The only valid divider is '='
2987
We've removed line continuations with '\'
2989
No recursive lists in values
2993
No distinction between flatfiles and non flatfiles
2995
Change in list syntax - use commas to indicate list, not parentheses
2996
(square brackets and parentheses are no longer recognised as lists)
2998
';' is no longer valid for comments and no multiline comments
3002
We don't allow empty values - have to use '' or ""
3004
In ConfigObj 3 - setting a non-flatfile member to ``None`` would
3005
initialise it as an empty section.
3007
The escape entities '&mjf-lf;' and '&mjf-quot;' have gone
3008
replaced by triple quote, multiple line values.
3010
The ``newline``, ``force_return``, and ``default`` options have gone
3012
The ``encoding`` and ``backup_encoding`` methods have gone - replaced
3013
with the ``encode`` and ``decode`` methods.
3015
``fileerror`` and ``createempty`` options have become ``file_error`` and
3018
Partial configspecs (for specifying the order members should be written
3019
out and which should be present) have gone. The configspec is no longer
3020
used to specify order for the ``write`` method.
3022
Exceeding the maximum depth of recursion in string interpolation now
3023
raises an error ``InterpolationDepthError``.
3025
Specifying a value for interpolation which doesn't exist now raises an
3026
error ``MissingInterpolationOption`` (instead of merely being ignored).
3028
The ``writein`` method has been removed.
3030
The comments attribute is now a list (``inline_comments`` equates to the
3031
old comments attribute)
3036
``validate`` doesn't report *extra* values or sections.
3038
You can't have a keyword with the same name as a section (in the same
3039
section). They are both dictionary keys - so they would overlap.
3041
ConfigObj doesn't quote and unquote values if ``list_values=False``.
3042
This means that leading or trailing whitespace in values will be lost when
3043
writing. (Unless you manually quote).
3045
Interpolation checks first the 'DEFAULT' subsection of the current
3046
section, next it checks the 'DEFAULT' section of the parent section,
3047
last it checks the 'DEFAULT' section of the main section.
3049
Logically a 'DEFAULT' section should apply to all subsections of the *same
3050
parent* - this means that checking the 'DEFAULT' subsection in the
3051
*current section* is not necessarily logical ?
3053
In order to simplify unicode support (which is possibly of limited value
3054
in a config file) I have removed automatic support and added the
3055
``encode`` and ``decode methods, which can be used to transform keys and
3056
entries. Because the regex looks for specific values on inital parsing
3057
(i.e. the quotes and the equals signs) it can only read ascii compatible
3058
encodings. For unicode use ``UTF8``, which is ASCII compatible.
3060
Does it matter that we don't support the ':' divider, which is supported
3061
by ``ConfigParser`` ?
3063
The regular expression correctly removes the value -
3064
``"'hello', 'goodbye'"`` and then unquote just removes the front and
3065
back quotes (called from ``_handle_value``). What should we do ??
3066
(*ought* to raise exception because it's an invalid value if lists are
3067
off *sigh*. This is not what you want if you want to do your own list
3068
processing - would be *better* in this case not to unquote.)
3070
String interpolation and validation don't play well together. When
3071
validation changes type it sets the value. This will correctly fetch the
3072
value using interpolation - but then overwrite the interpolation reference.
3073
If the value is unchanged by validation (it's a string) - but other types
3080
List values allow you to specify multiple values for a keyword. This
3081
maps to a list as the resulting Python object when parsed.
3083
The syntax for lists is easy. A list is a comma separated set of values.
3084
If these values contain quotes, the hash mark, or commas, then the values
3085
can be surrounded by quotes. e.g. : ::
3087
keyword = value1, 'value 2', "value 3"
3089
If a value needs to be a list, but only has one member, then you indicate
3090
this with a trailing comma. e.g. : ::
3092
keyword = "single value",
3094
If a value needs to be a list, but it has no members, then you indicate
3095
this with a single comma. e.g. : ::
3097
keyword = , # an empty list
3099
Using triple quotes it will be possible for single values to contain
3100
newlines and *both* single quotes and double quotes. Triple quotes aren't
3101
allowed in list values. This means that the members of list values can't
3102
contain carriage returns (or line feeds :-) or both quote values.
3110
Removed ``BOM_UTF8`` from ``__all__``.
3112
The ``BOM`` attribute has become a boolean. (Defaults to ``False``.) It is
3113
*only* ``True`` for the ``UTF16`` encoding.
3115
File like objects no longer need a ``seek`` attribute.
3117
ConfigObj no longer keeps a reference to file like objects. Instead the
3118
``write`` method takes a file like object as an optional argument. (Which
3119
will be used in preference of the ``filename`` attribute if htat exists as
3122
Full unicode support added. New options/attributes ``encoding``,
3123
``default_encoding``.
3125
utf16 files decoded to unicode.
3127
If ``BOM`` is ``True``, but no encoding specified, then the utf8 BOM is
3128
written out at the start of the file. (It will normally only be ``True`` if
3129
the utf8 BOM was found when the file was read.)
3131
File paths are *not* converted to absolute paths, relative paths will
3132
remain relative as the ``filename`` attribute.
3134
Fixed bug where ``final_comment`` wasn't returned if ``write`` is returning
3140
Added ``True``, ``False``, and ``enumerate`` if they are not defined.
3141
(``True`` and ``False`` are needed for *early* versions of Python 2.2,
3142
``enumerate`` is needed for all versions ofPython 2.2)
3144
Deprecated ``istrue``, replaced it with ``as_bool``.
3146
Added ``as_int`` and ``as_float``.
3148
utf8 and utf16 BOM handled in an endian agnostic way.
3153
Validation no longer done on the 'DEFAULT' section (only in the root
3154
level). This allows interpolation in configspecs.
3156
Change in validation syntax implemented in validate 0.2.1
3163
Added ``merge``, a recursive update.
3165
Added ``preserve_errors`` to ``validate`` and the ``flatten_errors``
3168
Thanks to Matthew Brett for suggestions and helping me iron out bugs.
3170
Fixed bug where a config file is *all* comment, the comment will now be
3171
``initial_comment`` rather than ``final_comment``.
3176
Fixed bug in ``create_empty``. Thanks to Paul Jimenez for the report.
3181
Fixed bug in ``Section.walk`` when transforming names as well as values.
3183
Added the ``istrue`` method. (Fetches the boolean equivalent of a string
3186
Fixed ``list_values=False`` - they are now only quoted/unquoted if they
3187
are multiline values.
3189
List values are written as ``item, item`` rather than ``item,item``.
3196
Fixed typo in ``write`` method. (Testing for the wrong value when resetting
3204
Fixed bug in ``setdefault`` - creating a new section *wouldn't* return
3205
a reference to the new section.
3210
Removed ``PositionError``.
3212
Allowed quotes around keys as documented.
3214
Fixed bug with commas in comments. (matched as a list value)
3221
Fixed bug in initialising ConfigObj from a ConfigObj.
3223
Changed the mailing list address.
3230
Fixed bug in ``Section.__delitem__`` oops.
3235
Interpolation is switched off before writing out files.
3237
Fixed bug in handling ``StringIO`` instances. (Thanks to report from
3238
"Gustavo Niemeyer" <gustavo@niemeyer.net>)
3240
Moved the doctests from the ``__init__`` method to a separate function.
3241
(For the sake of IDE calltips).
3248
String values unchanged by validation *aren't* reset. This preserves
3249
interpolation in string values.
3254
None from a default is turned to '' if stringify is off - because setting
3255
a value to None raises an error.
3264
Actually added the RepeatSectionError class ;-)
3269
If ``stringify`` is off - list values are preserved by the ``validate``
3277
Fixed ``simpleVal``.
3279
Added ``RepeatSectionError`` error if you have additional sections in a
3280
section with a ``__many__`` (repeated) section.
3284
Reworked the ConfigObj._parse, _handle_error and _multiline methods:
3285
mutated the self._infile, self._index and self._maxline attributes into
3286
local variables and method parameters
3288
Reshaped the ConfigObj._multiline method to better reflect its semantics
3290
Changed the "default_test" test in ConfigObj.validate to check the fix for
3291
the bug in validate.Validator.check
3298
Updated comments at top
3305
Implemented repeated sections.
3309
Added test for interpreter version: raises RuntimeError if earlier than
3317
Implemented default values in configspecs.
3321
Fixed naked except: clause in validate that was silencing the fact
3322
that Python2.2 does not have dict.pop
3329
Bug fix causing error if file didn't exist.
3336
Adjusted doctests for Python 2.2.3 compatibility

3354
simplifies error handling
3363
Fixed bug in Section.pop (now doesn't raise KeyError if a default value
3366
Replaced ``basestring`` with ``types.StringTypes``
3368
Removed the ``writein`` method
3377
Indentation in config file is not significant anymore, subsections are
3378
designated by repeating square brackets
3380
Adapted all tests and docs to the new format
3394
