It’s still time to define the file format as RawConfigParser-style, without interpolation. > 2.

I'd been hoping to avoid this, but oh well... *hands a courage cookie* I have to say the proof of concept in pure Python was impressive. Too bad it’s not enough :) Cheers _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
