Configuration files

What is the most Pythonic way to maintain a configuration file?
Are there any libraries mimicking registry / ini file writing that many
windows programming languages/environments offer?

Let me add:
cfgparse, iniparse
I've look at all to find a simple solution for my interest, but I realized
not a good result.
I'm using three of them ConfigParser, cfgparse and optparse. Just to let read
a configuration file and let user to subclass option at the console.
If I'll get experienced by cfgparse I think I'll drop ConfigParser, because
I'd like the idea to override file rules on console.

Does ConfigParser allow writing configuration changes also?
