Paket: python-pyjavaproperties (0.6-2.1)

Python implementation of java.util.Properties

This module is designed to be a Python equivalent to the java.util.Properties class. Currently, the basic input/output methods are supported, and there are plans to add the XML input/output methods found in J2SE 5.0.

Fundamentally, this module is designed so that users can easily parse and manipulate Java Properties files - that's it. There's a fair number of Pythonistas who work in multi-language shops, and constantly writing your own parsing mechanism is just painful. Not to mention Java guys are notoriously unwilling to use anything which is cross-language for configuration, unless it's XML, which is a form of self-punishment. :)
