The ConfigParser docs say that when __init__ is called with interpolation=None, no interpolation occurs. But when this is done in Python 3.2.1, it actually results in an AttributeError upon getting or setting a value, due to self._interpolation being set to None.

This incredibly simple patch brings the behavior inline with the docs.

Hey there! Thanks for your report. However:

1. this is a duplicate of #11324

2. AFAICT this is corrected in 3.2.1 (3.2.0 had the bug). Just downloaded the source distribution from python.org, it is indeed fixed.
