New submission from Florian Höch:
If a ParsingError occurs while reading a config file, the multi-line values
collected while reading will never be joined because the error is raised before
this can happen. This leads to very unexpected results, e.g. consider the
following config.ini:
[DEFAULT]
test = test
invalid
>>> cfg = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
>>> cfg.read(['config.ini'])
This will raise a ParsingError as expected. But the option values that were
parsed without error are now all lists instead of strings:
>>> cfg.get('DEFAULT', test')
['test']
Patch attached.
