    Funny thing: TOML author/inventor calls it a mistake:

    > TOML is a bad file format. It looks good at first glance, and for really really trivial things it is probably good. But once I started using it and the configuration schema became more complex, I found the syntax ugly and hard to read.

    > I personally abandoned TOML and as such, I'm not planning on adding any new features

    pytoml Abandoned by the creator for eminently sensible reasons (interesting read too... https://github.com/avakar/pytoml/issues/15) But let's not get into an argument over whether a shiny new fashion in config formats is in fact doing anything better than the previous fashions in config management...
