Description: Easy two-way conversion between Python dictionaries and fixed-width files.
        The FixedWidth class has been used in production without modification for 
        several years.
        
        This module has also proven useful for "debugging" a fixed-width spec --
        an invalid configuration reports an error that may not be obvious from
        reading the spec document.
        
        Requires a 'config' dictonary. See unit tests for full example.
        
        Small example
        
            SAMPLE_CONFIG = {
        
                'first_name': {
                    'required': True,
                    'type': 'string',
                    'start_pos': 1,
                    'end_pos': 10,
                    'alignment': 'left',
                    'padding': ' '
                },
        
                'last_name': {
                    'required': True,
                    'type': 'string',
                    'start_pos': 11,
                    'end_pos': 30,
                    'alignment': 'left',
                    'padding': ' '
                },
        
                'date': {
                    'required': True,
                    'type': 'date',
                    'start_pos': 31,
                    'end_pos': 38,
                    'alignment': 'left',
                    'format': '%Y%m%d',
                    'padding': ' '
                },
        
                'decimal': {
                    'required': True,
                    'type': 'decimal',
                    'precision': 2,
                    'rounding': decimal.ROUND_UP,
                    'start_pos': 38,
                    'end_pos': 42,
                    'alignment': 'left',
                    'padding': ' '
                },
        
            }
        
        Notes:
        
        * A field must have a start_pos and either an end_pos or a length. If both an end_pos and a length are provided, they must not conflict.
        
        * A field may not have a default value if it is required.
        
        * Supported types are string, integer, and decimal.
        
        * Alignment and padding are required.
