Are you sure? I just ran the test removing the mplrc.conf file from my disk, and the mpnlrc2_copy.conf file is indeed created blank, but after editing the tconf object and calling write(), I *do* get the changes I make written to it.

How are you trying to generate it? Does the printout on-screen at least write a full config for you? Please update and try again, I added a little utility called tconf2File() to wrap this writing process; there's a small subtlety that I might not have been clear about before (one has to write the str() form of the tconf object to get the class docstring extraction). > > > pps - I'm done with this, for a while.
