[New-bugs-announce] [issue16374] ConfigParser: Passing a semicolon as a value

[Daniel Gordon]

New submission from Daniel Gordon:

I have a configuration file containing a key and value:
delimiter=;

Using ConfigParser,
the resulting value of the key delimiter is empty.
Expected behavior should be a semicolon as the value.

This behavior occurred on Linux (Ubuntu 12.04) but not on Windows 7.
