Summary: ConfigParser module regexp issue

Details: In the ConfigParser module, a section header with a space
character is not allowed by the regexp search function.  This disallows
parsing of GNOME desktop application files
(/usr/share/gnome/apps/*/*.desktop on Red Hat 7.0).  Also, the option
regexp search errors on internationalized options such as the line:
Name[bg]=Vim

System: Red Hat 7.0
Python version: 1.5.2 (Red Hat packaged)
