[Python-ideas] Have ConfigParser handle sectionless config files by default

[Kernc]

Hi all,

I recently opened this bug report [1] stating that ConfigParser not
handling configuration files without sections (or those that have options
above first section definition) is an issue.

ConfigParser* should be able to parse "POSIX" config files (key=value, no
sections).

I'd like to lobby even for it being the default behavior without requiring
a strict=False argument. If interested, please have a look at the bug
report for some further arguments.

Thanks,

* It's called ConfigParser, not IniParser.
