Can we ? According to [1]: " OpenStack projects and libraries produced
under the Big Tent should generally be licensed under ASLv2, and
otherwise must be licensed under a license supported by the Contributor
License Agreement (CLA) which allows redistribution by the OpenStack
Foundation under ASLv2 (currently only the MIT and both forms of the BSD
license meet this requirement)."

Basically for OpenStack code we need to redistribute under Apache2, and
the PSF license is not "currently" in the whitelist.

This code should try to inherit from ConfigParser rather than copy code
over, bypassing the _read() issue you raise *and* the licensing question.
