+
+ You don't necessarily need to subclass a ConfigParser to use this method, you
+ can also re-set it on an instance, to a function that takes a string
+ argument. Setting it to ``str``, for example, would make option names case
+ sensitive::
+
+ cfgparser = ConfigParser()
+ ...
+ cfgparser.optionxform = str
+
+ Note that when reading configuration files, whitespace around the
+ option names are stripped before :meth:`optionxform` is called.
