title: Configparser and string with %
body: <p>Stupid question with (for sure) simple answer...</p>
  
  <p>I am using configparser to read some strings from a file. When the string has the '%' symbol ($%&amp; for example) it complains:</p>
  
  <p>ConfigParser.InterpolationSyntaxError: '%' must be followed by '%' or '(', found: "%&amp;'"</p>
  
  <p>Anybody familiar with this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
