Łukasz Langa added the comment: As R. David pointed out, this is fixed in Python 3 by emphasizing configparser is designed to hold strings at all times. Changing this would break lots of existing code out there. So, sadly, #wontfix.
Thank you for your report though. If you find the documentation is misleading, create a change for that and we'll submit it. ---------- resolution: -> wont fix stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed type: -> behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24488> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
