- <p>Back to <a href="http://common-lisp.net/">Common-lisp.net</a>.</p> + <p>In short, it implements <b>reading and writing of .INI-file style + configuration files</b> with sections containing key/value pairs of + configuration options. In line with the functionalities in the python + module, does this package implement basic interpolation of option values + in other options. + </p> + + <p>The main reason for starting the project is to be able to share + configuration files between Python and Common Lisp. Other projects + may be using the python/INI file style files too and the project is + by no means limited to the ConfigParser functionality. So, if you + have any wishes and/or nice extentions based on this format, please + send your contributions or extention requests.</p> + + <h1>Examples:</h1> + <pre style="border: 1px solid black; background-color: #ccf"> + +[my-section] +option1 = value1 +option2: value2 + +[interpolated-section] +option1 = value +option2 = value2 and %(option1)s +# this is a comment; the above line evaluates to "value2 and value" + +# empty lines and comments are skipped + </pre> + + +<h1>Releases</h1> +<p>Having recently started (Christmas hacking, 2007), the project doesn't +have any official releases yet. The code however should be useable and +the only reason there's no release is because there are no unit tests yet. +(Yea, working on it....) </p> + +<hr>
