ASSI writes: > SCALLYWAG="notest" It seems that if I write something like
SCALLYWAG="notest" # a comment then the line actually gets ignored due to a somewhat restrictive regex: match = re.search(r'^\s*SCALLYWAG=\s*"?(.*?)"?$', content, re.MULTILINE) Something like this might work better: match = re.search(r'^\s*SCALLYWAG=\s*"?(.*?)"?(\s*#.*)?$', content, re.MULTILINE) (I hope :-). Otherwise you'd first need to chop off any comments at the end and then shove the result into the original regex. It seems like there is a lot of ad-hoc code in that file that does things slightly differently for various settings, so that seems like it should get re-factored into something more general that is used uniformly across all the things you want to extract from the cygport file.
