Brian Curtin <br...@python.org> added the comment:

This would break existing config files, including some of my own. 

It would also require that you have some end delimiter on every item in order 
to handle the event that someone duplicates options, otherwise the following 
would likely behave badly in your application

[sect]
opt=first
opt=second

This would give you "firstsecond" that you'd somehow need to parse. Sometimes 
if I'm testing out options, like I want to check how "second" works, I'll 
quickly just do it as above. With a change like this, I couldn't do that, I'd 
be forced to comment out the first line, or add a delimiter and split on it.
