Should this 'undesirable' behavior be documented? My thoughts are

Document should definitely reflect the code whether the behaviour is desirable or not.

a) All the key,value pairs in the named section be retrived from entire file. Just appending the dict.

Isn't this what is happening now unless I am not following you?

Otherwise, b) An Exception can be thrown if it encounters an invalid Configfile having multiple same sections which can cause problem, but I cannot readily think of one such case.

I have no problem with throwing an exception in case of duplicate sections but I don't think that can be done by default (it may break some programs).
