Summary: ConfigParser converts option names to lower case on set()
Initial Comment:
Python 2.4.2
Using set() in ConfigParser module converts all
characters in option names to lower case.
To reproduce:
>>> import ConfigParser
>>> cfg = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
>>> cfg.add_section('SectioN')
>>> cfg.set('SectioN','OpTiOn","ValuE')
>>> cfg.items('SectioN')
[('option', 'ValuE')]

I can reproduce this on Win XP, Python 2.4, however, it
doesn't seem to be a bug.
In the docs
(http://docs.python.org/lib/module-ConfigParser.html), it
states that
"All option names used in interpolation will be passed
through the optionxform() method just like any other option
name reference. For example, using the default
implementation of optionxform() (which converts option names
to lower case), the values "foo %(bar)s" and "foo %(BAR)s"
are equivalent."
You might consider subclassing if this is an inconvenience
for you.
