[New-bugs-announce] [issue35954] Incoherent type conversion in configparser

[Adeokkuw]

New submission from Adeokkuw <stephanmonecke at gmail.com>:

configparser interface implicitly converts all objects to str (read_dict [sic] on line 724 of "3.7/Lib/configparser.py") while saving but not while lookup (__getitem__ on line 956).

MWE:

```
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config[123] = {}
print(config[123])
```
~> KeyError: 123
