Use a recent release, validation is now integrated (see changelog).
Hello @jhermann! It looks like the latest release still has the validate.py module outside of a configobj package. The changelog references a version 5.1.0, but I don't see that release on GitHub or PyPI. There also doesn't seem to be a version tag for it either.
Is there another way we should be looking at upgrading to a release newer than 5.0.6?
The latest release requires a change in imports, and there is a shim that redirects to the new location in case you didn't.
Avoiding the shim (i.e. rewriting imports) should solve your problem.

Sorry, I was sure I pushed out all those changes, but I didn't. Guess it is high time to push out what's there.
For the time being, use this requirement:
