Overview

The Configobj Python module is used by Vital Signs to read config files.

All of the installation information and links provided here were believed to be accurate at the time of writing. Screen shots and file names are version specific and will likely be different for your site specific installation. This information is provided as a courtesy and is not warranted in any way. Vital Soft is NOT RESPONSIBLE for software installed on your server.
