>>> from ConfigParser import ConfigParser
>>> from StringIO import StringIO
>>> s = StringIO("[a]\n"
...              "b = 123\n"
...              " 456")
>>> c=ConfigParser()
>>> c.readfp(s)
>>> c.get('a','b')
'123\n456'

In other words, any line with a leading whitespace is considered a
continuation line, and the leading whitespace is stripped from the value
(but the carriage return is left in).
