Łukasz Langa added the comment: With the default ConfigParser, we're using basic interpolation, as covered by:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html#configparser.BasicInterpolation To not have it, set interpolation to None in the ConfigParser constructor: config = configparser.ConfigParser(interpolation=None) Then percent signs will be treated like any other character. Let me know if you have further questions. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30760> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
