<p>Test the ConfigObj against a configspec.</p>
<p>It uses the ``validator`` object from *validate.py*.</p>
<p>To run ``validate`` on the current ConfigObj, call: :</p>
<pre class="literalblock">
test = config.validate(validator)
</pre>
<p>(Normally having previously passed in the configspec when the
ConfigObj was created - you can dynamically assign a dictionary of checks
to the ``configspec`` attribute of a section though).</p>
<p>It returns ``True`` if everything passes, or a dictionary of
pass/fails (True/False). If every member of a subsection passes, it will
just have the value ``True``. (It also returns ``False`` if all members
fail).</p>
<p>In addition, it converts the values from strings to their native types
if their checks pass (and ``stringify`` is set).</p>
<p>If ``preserve_errors`` is ``True`` (``False`` is default) then instead
of a marking a fail with a ``False``, it will preserve the actual
exception object. This can contain info about the reason for failure. For
example the ``VdtValueTooSmallError`` indicates that the value supplied
was too small. If a value (or section) is missing it will still be marked
as ``False``.</p>
<p>You must have the validate module to use ``preserve_errors=True``.</p>
<p>You can then use the ``flatten_errors`` function to turn your nested
results dictionary into a flattened list of failures - useful for
displaying meaningful error messages.</p>

<p>Test the ConfigObj against a configspec.</p>
<p>It uses the ``validator`` object from *validate.py*.</p>
<p>To run ``validate`` on the current ConfigObj, call: :</p>
<pre class="literalblock">
test = config.validate(validator)
</pre>
<p>(Normally having previously passed in the configspec when the
ConfigObj was created - you can dynamically assign a dictionary of checks
to the ``configspec`` attribute of a section though).</p>
<p>It returns ``True`` if everything passes, or a dictionary of
pass/fails (True/False). If every member of a subsection passes, it will
just have the value ``True``. (It also returns ``False`` if all members
fail).</p>
<p>In addition, it converts the values from strings to their native types
if their checks pass (and ``stringify`` is set).</p>
<p>If ``preserve_errors`` is ``True`` (``False`` is default) then instead
of a marking a fail with a ``False``, it will preserve the actual
exception object. This can contain info about the reason for failure. For
example the ``VdtValueTooSmallError`` indicates that the value supplied
was too small. If a value (or section) is missing it will still be marked
as ``False``.</p>
<p>You must have the validate module to use ``preserve_errors=True``.</p>
<p>You can then use the ``flatten_errors`` function to turn your nested
results dictionary into a flattened list of failures - useful for
displaying meaningful error messages.</p>
