Hello all, I'd like to propose the following change to ConfigParser.py. I won't call it a bug-fix because I don't know the relevant standards. This change will enable multiline comments as follows:
[section] item=value ;first of multiline comment ;second of multiline comment
Right now the behaviour is
In [19]: cfg.get('section','item') Out[19]: 'value\n;second of multiline comment'
It's a one-line change. RawConfigParser._read lines 434-437 # comment or blank line?
if line.strip() == '' or line[0] in '#;':
if line.strip() == '' or line.strip()[0] in '#;': continue
