switch to a functionally equivalent but less space-centric alternative to yaml config

[evilsocket]

as per title, we need to switch to a functionally equivalent but less space-centric alternative to yaml config, specifically, something that breaks less easily when tabs and spaces are mixed. it can be something as stupid as:

section.subsection.fuckyaml "blablabla" section.subsection.fuckyaml.harder true

or still indented by less idiotic than yaml

hm...maybe TOML?

You can even omit the [sections] and do:

main.name = ""
main.lang = "en"
main.iface = "mon0"
main.mon_start_cmd = "/usr/bin/monstart"
main.mon_stop_cmd = "/usr/bin/monstop"
main.mon_max_blind_epochs = 50.0
main.log = "/var/log/pwnagotchi.log"
main.no_restart = false

and so on...

I suggest using the tomlkit module. It preserves the style of the configuration.

what about just ini files? https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html

I'm not a big fan of ini's :D But that aside, what i don't like about this configparser:

• every value is a string (we have to convert the values by ourselfs)
• only one level possible; no subsections (can't do [main][plugins][grid])
• spaces in keys are allowed (wtf)
