This is exactly why attribute access is bad.

The object namespace is the RIGHT place. These *are* public attributes of the section. Are you going to move section methods to another namespace as well ? (a rhetorical question).

All the private attributes/methods already start with a single underscore.

I'm -1 on moving/removing Section/ConfigObj attributes.

I don't *mind* leaving attribute access in - but I don't like it especially.
