If I run the following script:
from configobj import ConfigObj
config = ConfigObj()
config.filename = 'test.cfg'
config['keyword1'] = "the value"
config['keyword2'] = "'{0:s}'".format("the value")
config['keyword3'] = '"{0:s}"'.format("the value")
config.write()
the output is:
keyword1 = the value
keyword2 = "'the value'"
keyword3 = '"the value"'
Is there any way to produce the following output?
keyword1 = 'the value'

What you're after is unrepr=True
config = ConfigObj(unrepr=True)
Then quotes will be preserved when you write back to file.

I've never used the ConfigObj module, however from the documentation it appears that you may be able to achieve this by passing the interpolation argument when instantiating the ConfigObj.
Try:
config = ConfigObj(interpolation = 'Template')
or
config = ConfigObj(interpolation = False)
