[issue6517] configparser: add possibility to escape formatstrings

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

The formatstring is a Python % formatting code, and doubling the %% is
the way to escape one, so what you suggest is in fact the way it works.
 Do you have a test case demonstrating that it doesn't work as
documented (it works for me)?
