Bug Description
Very simple:
# Reportlab
This comment is treated as a comment.
#Reportlab
This is not, and causes an error when it is searching for
eggs it is not supposed to be looking for.
I have not messed with having comments after an entry
so don't know if this works properly
Reportlab #newly added
but it should.
To post a comment you must log in.
This is a limitation of the ConfigParser format and can't be changed without causing backward- compatibility problems.
It would make sense to add a section to the documentation to clearly define how comments can be made.
