Thanks! When do you expect this patch to reach the debian package repository?
As it stands now, I believe a bugfix release on Thursday of this week is in order.
PS: This also explains why we had to remove Norwegian characters from the comments in our config files.
That sounds like another bug we haven't noticed, and is probably another unintended side-effect of switching configparser libraries.
As we are slowly porting the codebase towards Python 3, more of these issue may arise. They all stem from the different ways of handling bytestrings vs. unicode strings in Python 2 and 3, and I guess the problems with configparser is due to the fact that this is a backported-to-python2 version of the Python 3 standard library configparser.
