New submission from Mark Lonnemann <mlonnem...@msn.com>:
ConfigParser() is not using a custom dictionary class correctly, according to
my understanding. I have duplicate options in a config file that I want to
rename uniquely. The following code does not work.
x = 0
class MultiDict(dict):
def __setitem__(self, key, value):
if key == 'textsize':
global x
key += str(x)
x += 1
dict.__setitem__(self, key, value)
...
config1 = cp.ConfigParser(dict_type=MultiDict)
config1.read('ini_file.ini')
"textsize" is the option named twice in my config file. When I run the code, I
get a DuplicateOptionError for "textsize". No one seems to know how to solve
this, so it could be a bug. If it's sloppy coding, I apoligize.
