New submission from Charles Henry:
Python 2.6 and 2.7 each have a bad definition of the class RawConfigParser
It is immediately apparent in the __init__ function which begins with:
class RawConfigParser:
def __init__(self, defaults=None, dict_type=dict):
self._dict = dict_type
self._sections = self._dict()
self._defaults = self._dict()
Clearly, _dict() is not a function. _dict is not even properly defined as a public or private member of the RawConfigParser class.
The fix is to add a private variable to the class and a function for retrieving the value.
