cs.configutils 20220606

Utility functions and classes for .ini style configuration files.
Latest release 20220606:
HasConfigIni: new info_dict() method (name subject to change) to return a descriptive dict, part of a new scheme I'm trying out to report summary data from commands.
Class ConfigSectionWatcher(collections.abc.Mapping, collections.abc.Collection, collections.abc.Sized, collections.abc.Iterable, collections.abc.Container)
A class for monitoring a particular clause in a config file.
Method ConfigSectionWatcher.__init__(self, config, section, defaults=None):
Initialise a ConfigSectionWatcher to monitor a particular section
of a config file.
config: path of config file or ConfigWatcher
section: the section to watch
defaults: the defaults section to use, default 'DEFAULT'
Class ConfigWatcher(collections.abc.Mapping, collections.abc.Collection, collections.abc.Sized, collections.abc.Iterable, collections.abc.Container)
A monitor for a windows style .ini file.
The current SafeConfigParser object is presented as the .config property.
Class HasConfigIni
Class for objects with a config.ini file.
A section of the config is designated "our" configuration
and its fields parsed into a TagSet;
in particular the field values use the TagSet transcription syntax.
The default implementation is expected to be mixed into a
class with a .pathto(rpath) method, such as one which
inherits from HasFSPath.
The mixin provides the following attributes:

config: an on demand property which is a TagSet made
from the configuration file section
config_ini: the relative path to the configuration file
configpath: the full pathname of the configuration file
config_flush(): update the configuration file if the tags
have been modified

Method HasConfigIni.__init__(self, section, config_ini=None):
Initialise the configuration.
Function load_config(config_path, parser=None)
Load a configuration from the named config_path.
If parser is missing or None, use SafeConfigParser (just
ConfigParser in Python 3).
Return the parser.
