HI,

I've a small doubt regarding the way to save a configuration file on the file
manipulated by ConfigParser.
As far as I could understand this:

cp = ConfigParser.ConfigParser
cp.set(section,option)

will it do the set on the file or do I have to issue a "cp.write(fp)" in order
to get it done?
My tests didn't resulted positively.

You are missing a () here....

cp.set(section,option)

What does that mean? Did your head explode, has a giant mammoth stomped
your PC into oblivion, or has by any chance an exception occured that
you don't show us?

I guess you've been told to read this here, but just in case it wasn't,
or you didn't bother to read it:

Yes you have to get a file pointer (fp) and do the write as you noted.

Also to get instance of ConfigParser you need:

cp = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() (note the trailing parenthesis)

If you want to read existing .INI file before doing this you need a
cp.read('filename.ini') somewhere in your code.
