New submission from Shawn Ashlee <shawn.ash...@rackspace.com>:
using .add_section() and .set() for the DEFAULT section adds it twice:
[u...@srv ~]$ cat test_configparser.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import ConfigParser
a = ConfigParser.SafeConfigParser()
# borked
a.add_section('DEFAULT')
a.set('DEFAULT', 'foo', 'bar')
# working
a.add_section('working')
a.set('working', 'foo', 'bar')
b = open('testing', 'w')
a.write(b)
b.close()
[u...@srv ~]$ python test_configparser.py
[u...@srv ~]$ cat testing
[DEFAULT]
foo = bar
[DEFAULT]
[working]
foo = bar
Tested with 2.4 and 2.5, py3k no longer allows DEFAULT to be passed, so
this is a python < 3k issue.
