You're doing nothing wrong, it's just the way the ConfigParser module works 
in python, remember that the only thing you have in a config file are 
strings, config files are not Python. Luckily AppConfig take has a cast 
argument which you can use for this. So instead of
 
tasks = ('Call', 'Meet', 'Email')
myconf.take('dropdown_choices.tasks')

Do this in your appconfig.ini
[dropdown_choices]
tasks = Call,Meet,Email

And in your model do this
myconf.take('dropdown_choices.tasks', cast=lambda foo: foo.split(','))
