​I've never used ConfigParser, but that ​

​error message looks pretty simple to interpret.  You've set up a
ConfigParser object, told it to read in ~/my.cnf, the asked for the value
of section 'client', option 'mmz'.  The error indicates that your config
files doesn't have a section named 'client'.

What is the content of your ~/my.cnf file?
