[New-bugs-announce] [issue27467] distutils.config API different between <=3.5.1 and 3.5.2

[Joe]

New submission from Joe:

In Python 3k releases leading up to 3.5.2, distutils.config imported "ConfigParser", but now imports "RawConfigParser" in the latest release.

The documentation indicates "RawConfigParser" is considered legacy and "ConfigParser" should be used in its place. Was this change intentional, and if not, will it be reverted to the previous behavior for the next patch release?

Thanks,
Joe
