[issue32567] Venv’s config file (pyvenv.cfg) should be compatible with ConfigParser

[Vinay Sajip]

Vinay Sajip  added the comment:

"Seems wrong to me" is not a sufficient reason for changing things in this 
area. The pyvenv.cfg file is intended to be parsed by the interpreter's C code 
as well as by Python code, so its format needs to be kept as simple as possible.

[issue32567] Venv’s config file (pyvenv.cfg) should be compatible with ConfigParser

[Tzu-ping Chung]

New submission from Tzu-ping Chung :

I’m not sure if it is intended, but it seems wrong to me that pyvenv.cfg is 
using a format that ConfigParser does not recognise. ConfigParser requires all 
values be placed under a section, but pyvenv.cfg does not do that.

Maybe related:

* ConfigParser’s format requirement: 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html#supported-ini-file-structure
* How venv creates the configuration file: 
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/venv/__init__.py#L141
* Abandoned discussion on whether ConfigParser should support section-less 
format #22253
