Maybe not working on 3.12

[wastemans]

Hi "J",

I've read you're not working on this anymore, but I do, and I just had an issue with it that I fixed without knowing any python.

It was this error:

$ dotfiles -l                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
Traceback (most recent call last):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
  File "/home/MYUSERNAME/projects/vpy/bin/dotfiles", line 8, in <module>                                                                                                                                                                                                          
    sys.exit(main())
             ^^^^^^
  File "/home/MYUSERNAME/projects/vpy/lib/python3.12/site-packages/dotfiles/cli.py", line 224, in main
    config_opts = parse_config(cli_opts.config_file or '~/%s' % CONFIG_FILE)
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/home/MYUSERNAME/projects/vpy/lib/python3.12/site-packages/dotfiles/cli.py", line 150, in parse_config
    parser = configparser.SafeConfigParser()
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'configparser' has no attribute 'SafeConfigParser'. Did you mean: 'RawConfigParser'?

So I changed line 150
from:
parser = configparser.SafeConfigParser()
to:
parser = configparser.RawConfigParser()

Seemed to make it work again.

If you're not going to work on this would you or anyone else know what I might migrate to?
I love having the change register on github for this kinda stuff and I've made this project my main home folder backup everywhere!

Cheers

It looks like `SafeConfigParser` was renamed to `ConfigParser`, can you try that instead of Raw? If that works and passes tests, I'm happy to accept the change.

It makes me happy to hear that, thanks!

Yes mate, using just 'ConfigParser' also works :-)

I uploaded version 0.6.5 to test.pypi.org, can you give that a try? If all is good I'll upload to pypi. Thanks!

This command should do the trick:

$ python3 -m pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --no-deps dotfiles==0.6.5

[wastemans]

Yes that worked, 'dotfiles -l' afterwards doesn't crash.

Found this super helpful! Thanks to you both!

I'm not sure why, but only 0.6.4 shows up on PyPi when searched though the provided pip install below does work.

$ python3 -m pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --no-deps dotfiles==0.6.5

Is there an alternative either of you have found that does the same basic job? I love what dotfiles does; it makes spinning up environments super easy and consistent. I've worked dotfiles into several ansible jobs that I use for preparing test environments and I adore the functionality!

I don't think he uploaded the change to pypi.
I've had to manually make the edit on every new install of dotfiles.
I think he's made the change to github.com only.

You can just edit line 150 dotfiles/cli.py as above.
