configobj tabs vs. spaces vs indenting

[vince]

I saw a report today claiming that it is possible to confuse the configobj parsing of weewx.conf if the user has strange indentations or combinations of tabs+spaces etc.

This doesn't match my recollection.  I thought that for weewx purposes that the basic config parser just needs the right hierchy of bracketed sections and subsections, and how the user does whitespace or indenting doesn't matter at all.

Are there any known limitations or bugs related to the config parser getting confused if the user has oddly formatted multi-level sections+subsections in weewx.conf ?

Whitespace doesn't matter. The parser does a .strip() to every line before parsing.
