This example:

foo = [
  bar = { baz=1 }
]

With this code:

import pyhocon
conf = pyhocon.ConfigFactory.parse_file("test.conf")

Causes:

pyparsing.ParseException: Expected "]" (at char 14), (line:2, col:7)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Whereas if we use : instead:

foo = [
  bar: { baz=1 }
]

With the same code, we get a different outcome:

pyhocon.exceptions.ConfigWrongTypeException: Token 'ConfigTree([('baz', 1)])' of type ConfigTree (index 1) must be of type str (line: 2, col: 1)

Granted, both are errors. I am still learning HOCON, so I'm assuming you just can't place a key-value pair inside an array, which actually makes sense. However, the pyparsing exception leaking out makes it harder for someone that uses pyhocon, since we have to catch not only pyhocon.exceptions.ConfigException, but also pyparsing stuff (which means we have to import pyparsing in our own code).
