Claudiu.Popa added the comment:
But the last traceback conveys enough information, the user can see immediately
that the given section does not exist.
My problem with the current behaviour is that the first error distracts the
user, while the actual problem is the second traceback.
But I have another example which might contradict my proposal. In the example
in the second traceback, it's not clear what `Bad value substitution` stands
for and the first traceback adds the relevant context (the fact that key is
missing). But I guess this stands for another issue, for enhancing the message
for InterpolationMissingOptionError to transmit the fact that a given option is
missing.
