Configparser and string with %
<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>
