Python Utils - A simple config file parser and output object

[Fuzzyman]

A couple of little scripts I've written for my python project
(AAAcontroller - see www.atlantibots.org.uk) might be useful to others
- so I've stuck them up on the web :

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/atlantib...thonutils.html

They're my new config object - ConfigObj - and my output object
StandOut.......

ConfigObj parses and updates simple config files (including multiple
values for keywords, preserving comments, and updating sections of the
file).
StandOut is an output object that can print messages to the screen
*and* to a logfile.....

I've done a slight update to these (v1.0.1 :-) a couple of bugfixes
and added a couple of small but nifty features........ (all to
ConfigObj)

I have to use google groups to post these messages as our work
firewall block nntp.... I'm thinking of building a newsgroup reader
that uses google groups via http but provides a better interface...
anyone interested ??

Some news servers allow connections on port 80 or other alternatives.
(The free news.readfreenews.net server does, but it doesn't allow posting,)

Also comp.lang.python is linked to the python mailing list:
