is there a stable userconfig lib? #29

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I wanted to use the userconfig lib that I found mentioned in the guidata 
documentation.
It is stated that "It is the exact copy of the open-source package `userconfig` 
(MIT license)."  So I tried the example from the open source version 
(http://code.google.com/p/userconfig/downloads/list) but it did not work with 
the version in guidata.  

Some searching revealed that there are at least 3 versions of userconfig, all 
incompatible: the google version is 1.0.9, but there is a userconfig 1.0.13 in 
spiderlib and a version 1.0.7 in guidata (of WinPython-64bit-2.7.4.1).
It would seem that 1.0.13 is the most recent, but its copyright info dates it 
at 2009, while the 1.0.7 version mentions 2012.  Only the google version has an 
example of usage.  

Is the version in spyder maybe specific to spyder, while the version in guidata 
-or at google- is intended for general use?  Will there always be a divergence 
or will there be a convergence of all versions?

Is there already a version that is future safe?  Can it be used without having 
to include a copy of an old userconfig later?  And is it possible to provide an 
example of usage for that version (like for the google version)?
