Why don't you try it yourself? He gave you the code. I changed cfg.ini to
contain the following:

[foo]
bar=C:\x\n\r\a\01\x32\foo.py


Which produced the following output:
C:\x\n\r\a\01\x32\foo.py
'C:\\x\\n\\r\\a\\01\\x32\\foo.py'

Looks like config parser worked just fine to me. There is a difference between a
python string literal written inside of a python script and a string read from a
file. When reading from a file (or the registry) what you see is what you get.
There is no need to do so much work.
