ConfigParser.py?

Folks,

I'm trying to use ConfigParser... And I believe I'm doing everything
write, except I don't see any documentation (including in the
configparser.py file)
telling my what function(s) to use to write the file out to disk???

Can someone give me a example or syntax on that?

I've tried the atypical .CLOSE & .WRITE syntax's but had no luck...

That's simple... it doesn't exist :-)

Would love ot, but you'll need to write the code to do this. This was
designed to be "read only", although it's been talked about making it
bi-directional.

What's the rationale behind this??? It seems to be silly to allow
read, and not some
sort of output???

Um, laziness is the most powerful of rationale :-) Write it and I'm sure
Guido will be happy to include it :-) I've just never needed it, which
is why I don't use it. I use config files for a bunch of scripts that
run, but there's no "GUI" way to edit them.
