According to the ConfigParser docs:

"All option names used in interpolation will be passed through the
optionxform() method just like any other option name reference. For example, 
using the default implementation of optionxform() (which converts option names 
to lower case), the values "foo %(bar)s" and "foo %(BAR)s" are equivalent."

So, it seems it would be trivial so sublcass ConfigParser, and reimplement
optionxform()

Hope that helps.
