New submission from Hans Strijker <h...@stry.org>:
Method ```configparser.RawConfigParser.set()``` has optional parameter *value* with default value ```None``` resulting in the behavior that actually trying to set a config parameter to ```None``` will not be propagated to ```Interpolation.before_set()```. In fact, since it uses ```if value:``` and not ```if value is None:``` none of the non-truthy values will be passed through. Suggested commit [8e008be](https://github.com/HStry/cpython/commit/8e008bea0cf6bd3c698b333fd39a383e124fe026) using already established ```_UNSET``` singleton, but that appears to break compatibility elsewhere. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 359820 nosy: Strijker, taleinat priority: normal pull_requests: 17362 severity: normal status: open title: Lib/configparser.py - RawConfigParser.set does not pass non-truthy values through to Interpolation.before_set type: behavior versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39306> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
