     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 contains (we put it in a string to keep the test
     self-contained):
 
     >>> test_ini = '''\
     ... i 3
     ... x 4.5
     ... y 5.5
     ... s hi ho'''
 
     Then we can use it as follows:
     >>> type_conv={int:'i',float:'x',None:'s'}
 
     >>> d = read_dict(test_ini)
 
     >>> sorted(d.items())

       GUI frameworks like wxPython trap exceptions and call
       sys.excepthook themselves.  I guess this is a feature that
       enables them to keep running after exceptions that would
       otherwise kill their mainloop. This is a bother for IPython
       which excepts to catch all of the program exceptions with a try:
       except: statement.
 
       Normally, IPython sets sys.excepthook to a CrashHandler instance, so if
       any app directly invokes sys.excepthook, it will look to the user like
       IPython crashed.  In order to work around this, we can disable the
       CrashHandler and replace it with this excepthook instead, which prints a
       regular traceback using our InteractiveTB.  In this fashion, apps which
       call sys.excepthook will generate a regular-looking exception from
       IPython, and the CrashHandler will only be triggered by real IPython
       crashes.
 
       This hook should be used sparingly, only in places which are not likely
       to be true IPython errors.
