Hi,
As of NVDA 2014.3, ConfigObj 4.7.2 is used to retrieve, manage and store preferences. Now that a new version of ConfigObj has been released in 2014, I propose upgrading to ConfigObj 5.x.y (preferably 5.0.6, released in August 2014).
By upgrading to ConfigObj 5.x.y, NVDA users and developers will be able to:

• Save config files in folders with non-ASCII names.
• Provide easier way to upgrade NVDA's core code to Python 3.x, as ConfigObj 5.x.y supports Python 3.x. This means one less package to worry about when upgrading NVDA core to Python 3, if this ever happens.
• ConfigObj now uses Git for version control. This means we can try Git submodule from within misc deps submodule to retrieve latest ConfigObj releases. The Github page for ConfigObj is: https://github.com/DiffSK/configobj
  Thanks.
