[Bug 525342] [NEW] Deprecation warning in ConfigObj.__init__() causes crash

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

The current version of python-configobj in lucid (4.7.0-1) contains a
crash-inducing call to warnings.warn() in ConfigObj.__init__():

        if options is not None:
            import warnings
            warnings.warn('Passing in an options dictionary to ConfigObj() is ',
                          'deprecated. Use **options instead.',
                          DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=2)

As warnings.warn accepts at most 3 arguments, the first comma should
probably be something else, e.g. a plus sign.

This problem causes applications that use the deprecated options
dictionary to crash:

$ blueproximity 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/blueproximity/proximity.py", line 1274, in <module>
    config = ConfigObj(os.path.join(conf_dir, _('standard') + '.conf'),{'create_empty':True,'file_error':False,'configspec':conf_specs})
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/configobj.py", line 1206, in __init__
    DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=2)
TypeError: warn() takes at most 3 arguments (4 given)
