Use variables in another section in Python ConfigParser

Question

I know I can use %(values)s to use the exist variable in the config file. But it seems that I can only use the variable in the same section. Is there any way to use the variable in other sections?

Take a look at extended interpolation. This allows you to use the ${section:option} syntax to refer to values from other sections.

It works quite well in python 3 but it doesn't work in python 2.

Oh, boo. This seems a suitable candidate for a backport, I don't see why it wouldn't work in Python 2. Sorry!
