Actually, no(*), you shouldn't have, you should just use 'from ConfigParser
import ConfigParser'. It solves a lot of your future problems if you dont
start importing anything you find on the streets. (At least, not without
some protection ;)

*) this 'no' is actually an understatement, but using the 'from ... import
*' too much will eventually make you scream 'no' in the exact right pitch
and duration, and with the right gargling, hair-pulling frustration, for
this comment ;)
