I don't agree, if you write code that is supposed to work with Python3, 
using a library which is not
developed and will probably never support Python3 is quite a stupid idea ;)

Any other validation mechanism that can be plugged in ConfigParser for 
example?

 From what I've understood from the doc and what I remembered I thought 
that validation is automatically
done when passing the configspec, but I'll check if the two steps work..
