So does Mercurial, BTW, because this aspect of ConfigParser was

annoying for some of the stuff we try to do (and not at all obvious
to
most users, who have never seen anything but = used in config-style
files).
yes, I've just used ConfigParser syntax because that's what
Distutils uses.
If ':' is deprecated in favor of '=' only, Distutils will be fine with
that change.
I would be +1 for its deprecation
I don't think : is formally deprecated but = is more common and it
would be great if distutils could default to (and document) this syntax.
