ConfigParser and .ini files

[super_banane at yahoo.com]

Hello:

The ConfigParser class in the default Python libraries
does not support comments given on the value lines, separated
by a semicolon, such as:

[Section]
keyword = value ; put your comments here

The value as it is returned is:
"value ; put your comments here"
... which is not really what you expect.

Adding one line of code in the ConfigParser class
adds support for this feature. Any chance of submitting
this for the next Python release?

file ConfigParser.py line 311, add:
optval = string.split(optval)[0]
(before optname=string.strip(optval))

Cheers
