RawConfigParser does not inherit from object, so using (to make an
example) super() it's impossible.

Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Feb  3 2009, 20:52:03)
[GCC 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from ConfigParser import RawConfigParser
>>> class MyConfigParser(RawConfigParser):
...     def __init__(self):
...         super(MyConfigParser, self).__init__()
...
>>> mcp = MyConfigParser()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in __init__
TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not classobj

Changing it would break compatibility.
