    There seems to be a bug in configparser when setting new values in extended interpolation:

    python --version
    Python 3.5.1

    from configparser import ConfigParser, ExtendedInterpolation
c=ConfigParser(interpolation=ExtendedInterpolation)
c.add_section('test')
c.set('test', 'key', 'value')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/configparser.py", line 1190, in set
    super().set(section, option, value)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/configparser.py", line 891, in set
    value)
TypeError: before_set() missing 1 required positional argument: 'value'

    It works ithout extended interpolation, though.

    My bad.

    ConfigParser expects an interpolation object, not a class.

    Instead of c=ConfigParser(interpolation=ExtendedInterpolation)

    you need to create it with:

    c=ConfigParser(interpolation=ExtendedInterpolation())

    Sorry about that.

    Note: the problem here was due to passing ExtendedInterpolation (the class) instead of ExtendedInterpolation() (the object). This is now fixed through BPO-41086.
