[ ConfigParser barfs on that in 1.5.2, but not in 2.1 ]
   
Given that 1.5.2 is older than 2.1, it's entirely likely that it's a bug in
1.5.2 ;) (Note, 1.5.2, not 1.52; the 1.x series didn't go past 1.6 (yet ;))
There were 23 (!) checkins to the ConfigParser module between 1.5.2 and 2.1,
and only 9 (*nine*) checkins before that. There really is a reason we call
2.1 'the newer version', you know :-)
