    performing conversions on the resulting values.

    read_dict(filename,type_conv,**opt) -> dict

    Only one value per line is accepted, the format should be
     # optional comments are ignored
     key value\n

    Args:

      - type_conv: A dictionary specifying which keys need to be converted to
      which types. By default all keys are read as strings. This dictionary
      should have as its keys valid conversion functions for strings
      (int,long,float,complex, or your own).  The value for each key
      (converter) should be a whitespace separated string containing the names
      of all the entries in the file to be converted using that function. For
      keys to be left alone, use None as the conversion function (only needed
      with purge=1, see below).

      - opt: dictionary with extra options as below (default in parens)

        purge(0): if set to 1, all keys *not* listed in type_conv are purged out
        of the dictionary to be returned. If purge is going to be used, the
        set of keys to be left as strings also has to be explicitly specified
        using the (non-existent) conversion function None.

        fs(None): field separator. This is the key/value separator to be used
        when parsing the file. The None default means any whitespace [behavior
        of string.split()].

        strip(0): if 1, strip string values of leading/trailinig whitespace.

        warn(1): warning level if requested keys are not found in file.
          - 0: silently ignore.
          - 1: inform but proceed.
          - 2: raise KeyError exception.

        no_empty(0): if 1, remove keys with whitespace strings as a value.

        unique([]): list of keys (or space separated string) which can't be
        repeated. If one such key is found in the file, each new instance
        overwrites the previous one. For keys not listed here, the behavior is
        to make a list of all appearances.

    Example:
    If the input file test.ini has:
      i 3
      x 4.5
      y 5.5
      s hi ho
    Then:

    >>> type_conv={int:'i',float:'x',None:'s'}
    >>> read_dict('test.ini')
    {'i': '3', 's': 'hi ho', 'x': '4.5', 'y': '5.5'}
    >>> read_dict('test.ini',type_conv)
    {'i': 3, 's': 'hi ho', 'x': 4.5, 'y': '5.5'}
    >>> read_dict('test.ini',type_conv,purge=1)
