| configparser.ConfigParser (resp. ConfigParser.RawConfigParser for python2) has a optionxform function which converts the option names in a section to lower case by default. A similar function for section titles would be expected (cf. https://github.com/lmaurits/BEASTling/issues/46#issuecomment-195131900), but it does not exist. If ConfigParser called such a function (reasonably named sectionxform), which would default to None (or the identity function) for backward compatibility, that would be nice and consistent. | ||

| I agree sectionxform would be nice. Care to author a patch? The current workaround is modifying the SECTCRE regular expression. | ||

| I write a patch to add sectionxform. It wraps necessary section name operation I think. Hope to have some feedback. | ||

| Would it be worthwhile to convert this patch to a PR for 3.8? |
