+"""Configuration file parser.
+
+A setup file consists of sections, lead by a "[section]" header,
+and followed by "name: value" entries, with continuations and such in
+the style of RFC 822.
+
+The option values can contain format strings which refer to other values in
+the same section, or values in a special [DEFAULT] section.
+
+For example:
+
+    something: %(dir)s/whatever
+
+would resolve the "%(dir)s" to the value of dir.  All reference
+expansions are done late, on demand.
+
+Intrinsic defaults can be specified by passing them into the
+ConfigParser constructor as a dictionary.
+
+class:
+
+ConfigParser -- responsible for for parsing a list of
+                configuration files, and managing the parsed database.
+
+    methods:
+
+    __init__(defaults=None)
+        create the parser and specify a dictionary of intrinsic defaults.  The
+        keys must be strings, the values must be appropriate for %()s string
+        interpolation.  Note that `__name__' is always an intrinsic default;
+        it's value is the section's name.
+
+    sections()
+        return all the configuration section names, sans DEFAULT
+
+    has_section(section)
+        return whether the given section exists
+
+    options(section)
+        return list of configuration options for the named section
+
+    has_option(section, option)
+        return whether the given section has the given option
+
+    read(filenames)
+        read and parse the list of named configuration files, given by
+        name.  A single filename is also allowed.  Non-existing files
+        are ignored.
+
+    readfp(fp, filename=None)
+        read and parse one configuration file, given as a file object.
+        The filename defaults to fp.name; it is only used in error
+        messages (if fp has no `name' attribute, the string `<???>' is used).
+
+    get(section, option, raw=0, vars=None)
+        return a string value for the named option.  All % interpolations are
+        expanded in the return values, based on the defaults passed into the
+        constructor and the DEFAULT section.  Additional substitutions may be
+        provided using the `vars' argument, which must be a dictionary whose
+        contents override any pre-existing defaults.
+
+    getint(section, options)
+        like get(), but convert value to an integer
+
+    getfloat(section, options)
+        like get(), but convert value to a float
+
+    getboolean(section, options)
+        like get(), but convert value to a boolean (currently defined as 0 or
+        1, only)
