I want to get all the values from a section using config parser

I used this but it gives only the first value

def ConfigSectionMap(section):
  dict1 = {}
  options = Config.options(section)
  for option in options:
    try:
      dict1[option] = Config.get(section, option)
      if dict1[option] == -1:
        DebugPrint("skip: %s" % option)
    except:
      print("exception on %s!" % option)
      dict1[option] = None
    return dict1


  Config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
  Config.read("/etc/harvest.conf")
  print ConfigSectionMap("files").values()

Make it a dict:

dict(Config.items('Section'))
