I can't how being able to write a file that isn't read back with the
same meaning could be anything but a bug

You can subclass the parser class you're using and ove

All bug-fixes are backwards-incompatible, yet we fix them anyway. ;)

Hi,
I noticed configparser does behave in a surprising way when a key
has a special meaning in ini-format.
Consider this example:
>>> cp = configparser.ConfigParser()
>>> cp.read_dict({'DEFAULT': {';foo': 'bar'}})
>>> cp.write(sys.stdout)
[DEFAULT]
;foo = bar
Now when readin
14 matches
