Note that `configparser.ConfigParser.items` returns a `collections.abc.ItemsView` in the first overload

Documentation

When the items method of an instance of configparser.ConfigParser is called without a section argument, the implementation delegates to the items method of the superclass directly to return a typical view of dictionary items; that is, a special set-like iterator over tuples of the form (section_name, section_proxy). This is as opposed to the documented behaviour, which states a list is returned for both overloads (regardless if section is passed).

从 ConfigParser.items 的文档条目开始，将带 section 参数和不带 section 参数的调用所记录的返回类型，与此处描述的实现行为进行比较。当第一个重载准确记录其 ItemsView 结果，同时第二个重载仍保持正确描述时，即表示完成。
