ConfigParser is so dumb that should be burned to death and rebuilt from  
the ashes.

Any particular reason you're limited to the standard library?

I've used iniparse http://code.google.com/p/iniparse/ before as a
drop-in replacement for ConfigParser that preserves ordering and
comments, and only falling back to ConfigParser if iniparse wasn't
present; like this:

try:
from iniparse.compat import *
except ImportError:
from ConfigParser import *

As for updating ConfigParser -- like most other changes, it probably
needs a champion.

Yes, but as I said I need functionality present in the standard-library, so 
sub-classing ConfigParser is the last option really. I was hoping preserve 
ordering for ConfigParser would find its way into a release soon.

ConfigParser preserving file ordering
