Summary: ConfigParser.getint failure on 2.3.3

Initial Comment:
It fails with this traceback:
jarek:~/projekty/jpawrk/trunk$ ./jpa.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/home/jarek/projekty/jpawrk/trunk/lib/jt_mainwindow.py",
line 328, in OnMessageEdit
    self.cfg)
  File
"/home/jarek/projekty/jpawrk/trunk/lib/jt_msgeditwindow.py",
line 35, in editMessage
    dlg = MsgEditDlg(tmp, config)
  File
"/home/jarek/projekty/jpawrk/trunk/lib/jt_msgeditwindow.py",
line 69, in __init__
    self.__setProperties(config)
  File
"/home/jarek/projekty/jpawrk/trunk/lib/jt_msgeditwindow.py",

    winSize = cfg.getWindowSize('msgedit')
  File

    return (self.cp.getint(windowName, 'width'),
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/ConfigParser.py", line 315,
in getint
    return self._get(section, int, option)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/ConfigParser.py", line 312,
in _get
    return conv(self.get(section, option))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/ConfigParser.py", line 518,
in get
    return self._interpolate(section, option, value, d)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/ConfigParser.py", line 557,
in _interpolate
    if value.find("%(") != -1:
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'find'

The offending line in ConfigParser.py is line 553 which
reads:
value = rawval
In case of non-string values this will fail later,
since find() is a string method. Changing this line to:
value = str(rawval)
helps in case of numeric values (didn't check with
booleans, though).

Thanks for clarification. And yes, the value passed to
.set() is of integer type, as may be found in attached script.
I am closing this report with resolution "Fixed".

Are you passing non-string values to the .set() method?  The
_interpolate() method is called before ConfigParser even
performs data conversion, so it should only see strings.

The script being run in the traceback you show was not
attached, so I can't be sure how you're using ConfigParser.

The documentation for the .set() method has been found
lacking; this has been fixed in response to another bug
report.  Starting with Python 2.4, passing a non-string as
the value to the .set() method will cause a TypeError to be
raised.

If you were *not* passing a non-integer as the value
argument of the .set() method, please respond to this bug
report; a short script that demonstrates the problem would
help us diagnose the problem more carefully.
