The :mod:`configparser` module was modified to improve usability and
predictability of the default parser and its supported INI syntax. The old
:class:`ConfigParser` class was removed in favor of :class:`SafeConfigParser`
which has in turn been renamed to :class:`ConfigParser`. Support for inline
comments is now turned off by default and section or option duplicates are not
allowed in a single configuration source.

subclasses should be able to use it without modifications.
The INI file structure accepted by config parsers can now be customized. Users
are able to specify alternative option/value delimiters and comment prefixes,
change the name of the DEFAULT section or switch the interpolation syntax.
Along with support for pluggable interpolation, an additional buildout-like
interpolation handler (ExtendedInterpolation) was introduced::

A number of smaller features were also introduced, like support for specifying
