I've switched to using Python for configuration files about 6 years ago, and stopped writing "little languages" of my own. There is a great deal of flexibility and extensibility from using a general purpose language, and it has a fully documented syntax with good error messages. It's good idea, butyou are talking about using ANOTHER programming language, Python.Butif I had never heard about Python (especially if I'm a newbie in C++)?
I'm talking about using pure C++, and my solution is so easy to use (imho), that it could use even a newbie.
I on the other hand was pretty much excited about the possibility of scripting my configuration, so I googled for more. I assumed you are using Boost.Python, but unfortunately I found the documentation lacking and did not see an easy way to read higher level structures from the configuration files, nor could I find any simple examples to do so. Are there any, or would you care to provide one, Jeff? --> Mika Heiskanen
