I think I was on vacation when ConfigParser was added, and I still
remember being quite surprised that it landed in the Python CVS.  I'd
love to see that module frozen (in the sense of "let's not even *try*
to fix it), and come up with a more reasonable API that takes a single
syntax (.ini file syntax is fine; let's not invent one).  It might be
worth looking at the GConf API used in Gnome; I'm not sure how it
compares.
