[New-bugs-announce] [issue17608] configparser not honouring section but not variable case

[Rodney Persky]

New submission from Rodney Persky:

Hey,

Just a fairly small one in the configparser library. I've got a bunch of variables with varying capitalisation to indicate words in the variable name.

The config file contains lines such as:
[GlobalSection]
ParameterDelimiterCharacter = ,


Watching the program, at some point (this is straight from a for loop) the capitalisation gets lost:
Looking for ['GlobalSection', 'parameterdelimitercharacter']
