Support parser interpolation? #131
Description
Summary of Issue:
The strict format checking currently prevents us from exploiting some of the power of Python configs. In particular it would be useful to have a default section where additional variables could be defined and then used with interpolation in subsequent sections.
I can probably implement as it is mostly loosening some of the protections, but want to gauge the interest before I try.
Expected behavior and actual behavior:
[DEFAULT]
BASE: [email protected]:GEOS-ESM # ME complains that "BASE" is not a known key.
[GMAO_Shared]
repo_url = ${DEFAULT:BASE}/GMAO_Shared.git
local_path = ./src/Shared/@GMAO_Shared
tag = v1.0.5
sparse = ../../../config/GMAO_Shared.sparse
[GEOSgcm_App]
repo_url = ${DEFAULT:BASE}/GEOSgcm_App.git
local_path = ./src/Applications/@GEOSgcm_App
tag = v1.0.3
should allow us to just edit the BASE line at the top to reflect
