Any particular reason you're limited to the standard library?

I've used iniparse <http://code.google.com/p/iniparse/> before as a
drop-in replacement for ConfigParser that preserves ordering and
comments, and only falling back to ConfigParser if iniparse wasn't
present; like this:

try:
    from iniparse.compat import *
except ImportError:
    from ConfigParser import *

As for updating ConfigParser -- like most other changes, it probably
needs a champion.
