Sounds like you're stuck modifying ConfigParser to do what you want, or writing your own configuration file parsing utilities. >From looking through the ConfigParser source, looks like all the parsing work is inside the _read method, so shouldn't be too painful to make a subclass that does what you want. --------- John Krukoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
