Hello:

I am using ConfigParser to read the runtime configuration of a script.

I would like to have the flexibility of not providing a section name (there are scripts which are simple enough; they don't need a 'section'). ConfigParser will throw the NoSectionError exception, and will not accept the file.

How can I make ConfigParser simply retrieve the (key, value) tuples of a config file without section names? For instance:

key1=val1
key2:val2

I would rather not write to the config file.
