Though it was a surprise to me as well, I'd say this is by design:

https://github.com/zeroc-ice/ice/blob/master/cpp/src/Ice/PropertiesI.cpp#L565

If you need to have your "#" and parse it too, escape with \:


In [1]: import Ice

In [2]: ic = Ice.initialize(["--Ice.Config=/tmp/ice.config"])

In [3]: !cat /tmp/ice.config
a.a=1
a.b=2#foo
a.c=3 #bar
a.d=4 # baz
a.e = 5 # quip

In [4]: ic.getProperties().getPropertiesForPrefix("a")
Out[4]: {'a.a': '1', 'a.b': '2', 'a.c': '3', 'a.d': '4', 'a.e': '5'}

In [5]: !cat /tmp/ice.config
b.f=2\#foo

In [6]: ic.getProperties().getPropertiesForPrefix("b")
Out[6]: {'b.f': '2#foo'}
