Totally W R O N G!


Let me detail code directly from the v1.8.2 tarball:


## We use this to overwrite some of the settings above on a local basis 
if needed
readSettings('Accounting', AccountingConfig)
readSettings('Database', DatabaseConfig)

#try:
#    from mysql import *
#except ImportError:
#    if AccountingConfig.accounting == 'database':
#        error("The MySQLdb module which is required to do accounting is 
missing")
#        raise
#try:
#    from radius import *
#except ImportError:
#    if AccountingConfig.accounting == 'radius':
#        error("The pyrad module which is required to do accounting is 
missing")
#        raise

ModulesPath = os.path.realpath((os.path.dirname(__file__) or '.'))
ProgramName = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(sys.argv[0] or 'python'))[0]




I am by no means a python expert but it seems # is a comment character.




Someone please enlighten me how commented code can be turned back on via 
configuration. I am dying to know - Seriously.
