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?
I took a look at the code, it looks nice, i agree with Jeremy that pull
the code into yum code base is the best way to go.
I will be glad to maintain it.
Tim
