The below code works fine with ExtendedInterpolation; however with BasicInterpolation it _url fails with invalid variable reference.

The INI file:
[DEFAULT]
domain=abc.labs.com

[machine-details]
compilation_machine=abc1
compilation_machine_url=%(compilation_machine).%(domain)
compilation_machine_url2=${compilation_machine}.${domain}

Python Version:
Python 3.5.1

Environment:
Arch Linux
