Look in the code for the get method of ConfigParser.
It seems to me that:

            if not string.find(value, "%("):

should really be

            if string.find(value,"%(")!=-1:

>DK_1: (group == %(deck)s )

BTW in the Python 1.5.1 version of this module _ was not
allowed in options, so avoid it if you plan to distribute
your app.
