ConfigObj is a simple but powerful config file reader and writer: an
ini file round tripper. Its main feature is that it is very easy to

for config files. It has lots of other features though:

 * Nested sections (subsections), to any level
 * List values
 * Multiple line values
 * Full Unicode support
 * String interpolation (substitution)
 * Integrated with a powerful validation system
   + including automatic type checking/conversion
   + and allowing default values
   + repeated sections
 * All comments in the file are preserved
 * The order of keys/sections is preserved
 * Full Unicode support
 * Powerful unrepr mode for storing/retrieving Python data-types
