I've written a GPL'ed replacement for
ConfigParser, called ConfParser.  It doesn't allow
the dictionary formatting, but it does sensibly
allow comments just about wherever you'd like.  It
also removes most of the restrictions on what
characters can be in a section or option name.

It's available at:
http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/

It mostly follows the interface from ConfigParser,
but doesn't have some of the convenience methods
of the original.
