Python 3.1 TypeError explanation needed
Could someone explain why Python 3.1 errors out below? Do I need an additional module that's not required in 3.2 perhaps? I need to use 3.1 as it's the version available on a server I am using.

Code:
Python 3.2.1rc1 (default, May 18 2011, 11:01:17) 
[GCC 4.6.1 20110507 (prerelease)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> import os
>>> import configparser
>>> config = configparser.ConfigParser()
>>> config.read('/tmp/mugsyback.ini')
['/tmp/mugsyback.ini']
>>> backup_sources = sorted(config.sections()[1:])
>>> for section in backup_sources:
...     item = config[section]
... 
>>> item
<Section: 2>
>>>

Code:
Python 3.1.3 (r313:86834, Nov 28 2010, 10:01:07) 
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

nicotine-import-winconfig

NICOTINE(1)						      General Commands Manual						       NICOTINE(1)

NAME

       nicotine-import-winconfig - import configuration from the Windows soulseek client

SYNOPSIS

       nicotine-import-winconfig [OPTIONS] old-config-file

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the nicotine-import-winconfig command.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because
       the original program does not have a manual page.

       nicotine-import-winconfig is a program to import your queue, user list, password information,  auto-joined  chatrooms,  banlist,  and  user
       information from the Windows SoulSeek configuration.

USAGE

       A typical invocation would be :

       nicotine-import-winconfig "/mnt/win9x/Program Files/SoulSeek"

       The  program should be run when nicotine is not running. It will add the information (download queue, userlist, password info, etc.) to the
       existing configuration or write a new configuration from scratch when no configuration exists.

FILES

       $HOME/.nicotine/config
	      The per-user configuration file for nicotine(1) will be overwritten.

       You might want to back up the file first, but it should not be necessary. A different config file can be chosen using the --config flag.

       configfile-userinfo.ext
	      In case there's an image included in the Windows SoulSeek userinfo, the image will be extracted and written to that file, where con-
	      figfile is the path to your nicotine configuration file, and ext is the appropriate file extension for the image type.

OPTIONS

       When you don't want to import all configuration options, you can choose what to import using command line flags.

       -c file | --config=file
	      Use a non-default nicotine configuration file to write to.

       -q | --queue
	      Import the queue.

       -u | --userlist
	      Import the userlist.

       -l | --login
	      Import the login information.

       -C | --chatrooms
	      Import the list of autojoined chatrooms.

       -b | --banned
	      Import the list of banned users.

       -i | --userinfo
	      Import the user information and the image.

       -h | --help
	      Print the summary of command line options and exit.

TIPS

       It  is  possible  to  share  the download directory between platforms.  Nicotine can even continue downloads that started using the Windows
       client.

       Of course, the download directories should be the same for nicotine and Windows, e.g. if your Windows sharing directory is  F:slsk_in  and
       your F drive is mounted on /mnt/media, then you must set your download directory to /mnt/media/slsk_in.
