Cool, it would be great if you could test the version in SVN to see if 
it really fixes your problems (and doesn't introduce new ones).

Next I'm looking at adding 'reset', 'reload' and 'restore_defaults' 
(your patch) to ConfigObj. If I add these methods then the new release 
will be version 4.5.0 I guess.

I'd lake to make some other changes to the API - but as these break 
backwards compatibility they will have to wait some unspecified length 
of time for a version 5:

'write' should return a string rather than a list of strings if there is 
no filename.
The options dictionary parameter in the constructor doesn't really make 
sense.
