Description:
------------
The following php.ini snippet is found in the newest releases of php.ini (found un downloads section and Ubuntu 13.10):




; If disabled, all PHPDoc comments are dropped from the code to reduce the
 ;size of the optimized code.
;opcache.save_comments=1




The space before " ;size" breaks automation systems like Ansible which tries to parse it as a correctly formatted .ini file.

Test script:
---------------
Apparently it only breaks with builtin MacOSX Python distribution, so you would not be able to reproduce the above exception if running GNU/Linux or others.

#!/usr/bin/python

import ConfigParser, os

config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
config.readfp(open('php.ini'))
print config.get('PHP', 'max_execution_time')

Expected result:
----------------
It should return the value of the attribute instead of raising an exception:

$ python phpparse.py
30

Actual result:
--------------
