New submission from Márcio Faustino <[email protected]>:
The SafeConfigParser class incorrectly detects lone percent signs,
for example, it doesn't accept "100%%" as a valid value. The cause of
this is the "_badpercent_re" regular expression:
- The first alternative "%[^%]" fails with the string "%%_", because it
matches "%_".
- The second alternative "%$" fails with the string "%%", because it
matches "%".
---
from ConfigParser import *
SafeConfigParser().set('DEFAULT', 'test', '100%%')
