I posted an older link. The latest one is above, and the latest version is 1.2. But the good thing is that I tested it out against the 0.1 release and it worked absolutely fine. Hoping that version 1.2 would be even better. ;-)
There are actually two modules by the same name. The 0.1 is by Paramjit Oberoi (http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~param/software/cfgparse/), while the v1.2 one is by Dan Gass (http://cfgparse.sourceforge.net/) Among all the alternatives at http://wiki.python.org/moin/ConfigParserShootout, the unmaintained module by Paramjit Oberoi seems to be the most appropriate for our use. A ConfigParser compatible interface, which respects comments and the ordering of the options. Every thing else seems to be either an overkill, or too complicated. So Jeremy are you suggesting that we copy Paramjit Oberoi's code verbatim into the YUM code base? Since the parser code is only 3 files, will someone be interested in maintaining it?
