wx.FileConfig error when INI file has duplicate section names

wxPython Users

I’m trying to use wx.FileConfig to manage my application settings, but it throws a PyAssertionError if the file has duplicate section names.
Is there any way around this? I’d hate to switch to a third-party INI file manager at this point.

Test Script:
import os
import wx
app = wx.App(False)
config = wx.FileConfig(localFilename=os.getcwd()+os.sep+“PROGRAM.INI”)

PROGRAM.INI:
[APP]
enableLog=1
[APP]
enableLog=0

Result (wxPython 2.8 and 3.0):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
File “C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wx-3.0-msw\wx_misc.py”, line 3514, in init
misc.FileConfig_swiginit(self,misc.new_FileConfig(*args, **kwargs))
wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion “!m_pParent || !m_pLine || !pLine” failed at …\src\common\fileconf.cpp(1381) in wxFileConfigGroup::SetLine(): changing line for a non-root group?

How did you create such a tree?
Is it made with the wx.FileConfig or made by hand?

Thank you.

It was made by hand as an example.

This will never happen in real-life application.
And the assertion indicate that there is something wrong.

There is no problem/bug here unless you can generate this type of
INI file programmatically.

Thank you.

Thank you for your opinion. I’m disappointed that wx.FileConfig isn’t able to tolerate duplicate sections (even systemd can do this).
It would be acceptable to stop parsing at that point, but throwing an assertion error means there is no easy workaround.
