Try this instead (and never look back): http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html As Python is case sensitive (which btw I don't like at all ;-) but now when really need the casesensitivity, because it handles about names which should be recognized by human, it changes everything to lowercase So you are saying the case sensitivity is a good thing--or maybe you are still running Mac System 7 on your CSIIsi marveling at the wonders of HFS?

I don't know why, but I know how to change it and I found the solution here:
http://docs.python.org/lib/RawConfigParser-objects.html
You need to change the implementation of method `optionxform`, e.g.:
# config
[section1]
option1=item1
Option2=item2
option2=item3
# cfg.py
from ConfigParser import ConfigParser
config = ConfigParser()
config.optionxform = str
config.read('config')
print config.get('section1', 'option1')
print config.get('section1', 'Option2')
print config.options('section1')
HTH,
