ConfigParser Keys

[Neil Benn]

Hello,

To my chagrin, I've just discovered that SafeConfigParser, by
default, returns all the keys in the key/value pairing in lowercase
(what earthly possible reason it would do this I do not know!). Does
anyone know of a way of stopping it doing this?

Cheers,

Neil

The config file may be edited by a non-programmer. It is a safe assumption
that he will expect KEY=value, key=value and Key=value to affect the same
option.

anyone know of a way of stopping it doing this?

Untested:

class CaseSensitiveSafeOptionParser(SafeOptionParser):
def optionxform(self, optionstr):
return optionstr
