[issue41500] InterpolationSyntaxError reading the (windows) environment with unresolved environment variables

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com> added the comment:

The exception is due to the interpolation feature of ConfigParser, which expects a different syntax. The default interpolation syntax is "%(key)s".

Interpolation can be turned off by passing "interpolation=None" when creating the ConfigParser object.
