If I understand Philip's argument correctly, the problem is this: def print_next_line(f: file): print f.readline() s = "line 1\n" "line 2" print_next_line(s) print_next_line(s) This will print "line 1" twice. -param ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I wrote some code to do just that sometime back: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~param/software/cfgparse/ It would probably need some cleanup and restructuring to be used, but it may be a good starting point if configparser is to be rewritten. -param ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
