New submission from Raghuram Devarakonda: ConfigParser.add_section() raises DuplicateSectionError if add_section() is called with the name of a section that is already present. How ever, if a section is present multiple times in a file, readfp() does not raise any exception. Instead, the sections are "combined" with values in latter sections overwriting previous values (if any). This should be documented in readfp(). I tried few alternatives but the sentences don't look right. I am creating the issue in the hope that some one else may give it a try while I continue to come up with a doc patch.
