In the first case you are passing ConfigObj a relative path - so because 
the config file 'test.ini' doesn't exist in the current directory 
ConfigObj creates a new one.

When you provide the full path the parse error *should* tell you what is 
wrong. I think you need spaces around your '=' sign - so that ConfigObj 
can tell where your keys end and your values begin.

item1 = value

Try that and either change the current directory to the location 
containing the config file or pass in the full path.
