Programming :: Python ConfigParser Not Saving Comments?

I have a lot of scripts in Bash and am 'converting' one of them to Python just to get to know how Python works. Up to now I'm loving it, the feel, the logic, the power, ...

1. I have a template file which will be filled in by a technician, meaning it's filled with comments (#) and variable = value combinations, where the technician needs to fill in the values needed under the section referring to the configuration he's performing. 2. After installing from DVD/ISO, the software RPMs get installed and there is a default configuration file containing variable = value combinations where the values need to be changed to the values indicated in the template file mentioned in 1.

In order to do this I played around (and Googled a lot) with ConfigParser. I can load the template, get whatever value I need, load the configuration file, set the new value to the correct variable and write the file.

I checked that the template and configuration files loaded (open()) contain everything, including comments. However when I write the configuration file all comments get lost.

Here's what I have so far: Class to create a fakesection header since ConfigParser needs sections and the configuration file doesn't have those.

Code:
class FakeSectionHead(object):
def __init__(self, fd):
self.fd = fd
