Signature

def   _quote ( self ,  value ,  multiline = True )

Summary

Return a safely quoted version of a value.

Extended Summary

Raise a ConfigObjError if the value cannot be safely quoted. If multiline is True (default) then use triple quotes if necessary.

  • Don't quote values that don't need it.

  • Recursively quote members of a list and return a comma joined list.

  • Multiline is False for lists.

  • Obey list syntax for empty and single member lists.

If list_values=False then the value is only quoted if it contains a \n (is multiline) or '#'.

If write_empty_values is set, and the value is an empty string, it won't be quoted.
