[New-bugs-announce] [issue45217] ConfigParser does not accept "No value" reversely to the doc

[sbougnoux]

New submission from sbougnoux <bougnoux at free.fr>:

Just the simple following config crashes

"""
[Bug]
Here
"""

Hopefully using "Here=" solves the issue, but the doc claims it shall work.
https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/configparser.html?highlight=configparser#supported-ini-file-structure

Save the config in "bug.ini", then write (it will raise an exception)
"""
from configparser import ConfigParser
ConfigParser().read('bug.ini')
"""
