[Python-apps-team] Bug#647833: Should support ConfigParser style files

[Guido Günther]

Package: pychecker
Version: 0.8.19-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
it's quiet common these days to configure tools needed to build a python
module via a configuration file parseable via ConfigParser (and usually
called setup.cfg). 

I'd be great if pychecker would support this as well. So while it's
possible to have a config file like:

packageImportUsed = 1
reimportSelf = 1

it's not currently possible to have one like:

[pychecker]
packageImportUsed = 1
reimportSelf = 1

[epydoc]
epyoption1 = 1
epyoption2 = 2

[nosetests]
noseoption1 = bar
noseoption2 = foo


Since pychcker doesn't know about sections and therefore doesn't ignore
unknown sections.
Cheers,
 -- Guido
