New submission from George Fischhof:

Hi There,

I started to use ConfigParser, and found that it has no write to file_name 
option, but xml paarser (ElementTree) has.

This way ConfigParser works different than xml parsers, as when I use 
elementtree.write it will create a file with full and valid xml content.

But ConfigParser is "able" ;-) to create file with invalid content (for example 
(this was my findings) creates duplicated sections. Because the handling of the 
file is in the user's hand.

So it would be good for ConfigParser to handle file writing and the user!s code 
would became simplier:

Feature request:
ConfigParser should be able to write config to a given filename, not only into 
file object.
(Like xml parser)

Kind regards,
George Fischhof
