[Discussion] Is there a way to escape # in distrobox.ini?

[jkuester]

Is there a way that I missed that allows for escaping the comment character (#) when used in the middle of a quoted string in a distrobox.ini file?

I have this distrobox.ini file:

[my_debian]
image=debian:12
additional_packages="chromium git python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel xsltproc"
init_hooks="sudo python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages git+https://github.com/medic/pyxform.git@medic-conf-1.17#egg=pyxform-medic"

Running the distrobox-assemble create command in the directory with that file results in the following error:

$ distrobox-assemble create
/tmp/tmp.m2ufOShp04: line 3: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
 - Creating my_debian... 
Creating 'my_debian' using image debian:12       [ OK ]
Distrobox 'my_debian' successfully created.
To enter, run:

distrobox enter my_debian

Obviously, removing the # from my init_hooks makes the error go away (but breaks the command). I tried escaping it using \#, but that did not resolve the issue.
