Public bug reported:
Hello,
I installed python-configparser in Ubuntu 13.04 (raring) and noticed
that this module is broken. After removing the package and installing a
recent version, my code works as expected.
My test case:
File conf:
--------------------------
[test]
key = value
File test.py
--------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import configparser
co = configparser.RawConfigParser()
co.read('conf')
print co.get('test', 'key')
My system

Description-en: backport of the enhanced config parser in Python 3.2
The ancient ConfigParser module available in the standard library 2.x has
seen a major update in Python 3.2. This is a backport of those changes so
that they can be used directly in Python 2.7.
