Configparser maps all options to lowercase (presumably for Win compatibility) but it does the mapping through a method call (optionxform) which leaves the option name (optname) untransformed. This causes a dictionary key error when continuation lines are encountered since the untransformed optname is used to build the continued line. There are at least three possible fixes: 1. Make options case sensitive by eliminating the optionxform method. (My workaround is to overload the optionsxform method...) 2. Replace optname by it's lower case equivalent when it is constructed and use the lower case form throughout. 3. Insert calls to optionxform where the continuation lines are built. Messy and inefficient, IMHO. For greatest generality, there ought to be parameters which manage case sensitivity for section names and option names. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=476884&group_id=5470
