Substitution in local_config. In this code the situation looks as follows: # server_name = "enter.your.server.url.here" # print "Using server name", server_name Using server name enter.your.server.url.here # local_config.init(self.config_section, defaults=up2date_cfg, server_name=server_name) so local_config get that "enter.your.server.url.here" as server_name but the trick is that rest of that code do not use server_name, but server_url and local_config get value of server_url from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhncfg-manager.conf, which by default is: # server_url = https://%(server_name)s%(server_handler)s where %() is macro which is expanded. So string printed in "Using server name" match with value later stored in server_url. But in this specific case, the value in config file is: # server_url = https://real.machine.redhat.com/CONFIG-MANAGEMENT-TOOL and as there are no macros, no substitution happens and rest of the code use different url and hostname, then what is originally printed in "Using server name".
