Python: Decent config file format
- by miracle2k
I'd like to use a configuration file format which supports key value pairs and nestable, repeatable structures, and which is as light on syntax as possible. I'm imagining something along the lines of:
cachedir = /var/cache
mail_to = [email protected]
job {
name = my-media
frequency = 1 day
source {
from = /home/michael/Images
source { }
source { }
}
job { }
I'd be happy with something using significant-whitespace as well.
JSON requires too many explicit syntax rules (quoting, commas, etc.). YAML is actually pretty good, but would require the jobs to be defined as a YAML list, which I find slightly awkward to use.
