Need to create a config file before it can be written to using write_config

I needed to call cfp.add_section(module) before I could use cfp.set(module, key, value) given the file doesn't already exist.

Good catch, there are a few things we could do here:

1. Split the logic with a conditional like if path.is_file(): ...
2. Directly add in cfp.add_section(module) between line 161 and 162
3. something else?

So you're saying you edited the code and option 2 worked for you?

@cthoyt cfp.add_section(module) works if the section didn't already exist, but throws an error if the section already exists (IIRC).

I figured this out the hard way ;) so I added a check for non-existence.

For provenance, here's some code I used to create the file (and folder) in the correct location if it doesn't exist.

from os import path
from pathlib import Path
ini_dir = path.join(path.abspath(path.expanduser("~")), ".config")
ini_path = path.join(ini_dir, "zenodo.ini")
Path(ini_dir).mkdir(exist_ok=True, parents=True)
Path(ini_path).touch()

Are you saying there's still a persisting issue? This issue has been addressed, as far as I remember

[sgbaird]

I was getting the behavior of the files confused with something else. I don't think it's an issue anymore.
