Speaking of the documentation, I think that http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/configparser.html#configparser.ConfigParser.get """ get(section, option, raw=False[, vars, fallback]) [...] Changed in version 3.2: Arguments raw, vars and fallback are keyword only to protect users from trying to use the third argument as the fallback fallback (especially when using the mapping protocol). """ makes it clear that instead of config.get(section, option, rawflag) # 3.1 you now have to write config.get(section, option, raw=rawflag) # 3.2 because many people erroneously assumed that the third argument was the fallback value.
