Bug in overriding configuration variables in config.flav?

I have recently set up a pyblosxom based weblog (actually it's an 
automatic cross reference of bugs referenced in Mozilla checkins with 
the bug details in bugzilla, to see it in action go to: 
http://backprop.net/mozilla/bonsaibugs/pyblosxom.cgi).  It is running 
the pyblosxom code from CVS (checkout on 17/7).

My configuration of this system is probably somewhat unusual.  The 
problem for me is that I would like to limit the depth and number of 
entries on certain flavours and not others.  The overring mechanism 
should be perfect! (I had tried it once before with 0.7beta code but not 
until Wari suggested it again recently in a private e-mail did I try it 
with CVS code. BTW, Wari the other code you suggested worked perfectly). 
  Unfortuntely the overriding doesn't work.  I have created my files 
config.flav with entries of the form:

depth 0
num_entries 999

The code that is reading these entries can be seen on lines 88-94 of 
pyblosxom/Pyblosxom/renderers/blosxom.py and is quoted below:

# Check for any configuration override in flavours
if flavours[taste].has_key('config'):
     for s in flavours[taste]['config'].split('\n'):
         if s.strip() != '':
             match = re.match(r'(\w+)\s+(.*)', s)
                 if match:
                     config[match.groups()[0]] = match.groups()[1].strip()


 From what I can see/guess (I haven't read all related code), this code 
is assuming that all config values will be strings.  This is plainly not 
true in my case.  I have verified that for one of my flavours (rss) I 
can get it to load correctly with only a single entry if I wrap the last 
expression with int().  A second config.flav file (a custom index 
flavour) I have which relies on two integer values (like the example 
above) is not being working.  I have not yet tracked down why this is so.

Sorry for the such a long, e-mail.  I hope that this really is a bug and 
not my mistake!
