ConfigParser recognises both, but other tools (coff ConfigObj) only recognises the latter (=). So does Mercurial, BTW, because this aspect of ConfigParser was pretty annoying for some of the stuff we try to do (and not at all obvious to most users, who have never seen anything but = used in config-style files).

yes, I've just used ConfigParser syntax because that's what Distutils uses.

If ':' is deprecated in favor of '=' only, Distutils will be fine with that change.

I would be +1 for its deprecation
