From the following python code: import os from ConfigParser import ConfigParser from pprint import pprint c = ConfigParser() c.read(['test.ini']) pprint(c.items('test', raw=False, vars=os.environ)) I see the values contained in os.environ as well as in section "test" (in the attached configuration example). The problem seems to come from the following line: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/5395f96588d4/Lib/ConfigParser.py#l605 Which is fixed in py3k but for the 2.x branch has not been modified sin 2002: http://hg.python.org/cpython/annotate/8bb6003f7f54/Lib/ConfigParser.py#514

This annoyance can't be fixed in 2.x anymore since this is a change of behaviour requiring a full release. While it is very unlikely someone depended on this "feature", changing it breaks compatibility. Reclassified as `Documentation` to explicitly describe that change in 3.2.
