ConfigParser is not parsing

[Rolando Espinoza La Fuente]

read() does not return the config object

>>> import ConfigParser
>>> config = ConfigParser.SafeConfigParser()
>>> config.read('S3Files.conf')
['S3Files.conf']
>>> config.sections()
['main']
>>> config.get('main', 'taskName')
'FileConfigDriver'
