Error when setting up Pi.Alert with special characters inside SMTP password #202

Hello

When I setting up Pi.Alert with the automated script, I have also inserted the SMTP parameters for sending mail. My password contains the ( characters.

During further installation, I encountered this error :

- Prepare directories...
*** PLEASE WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/xxxx/pialert/back/pialert.py", line 41, in <module>
    exec(open(PIALERT_PATH + "/config/pialert.conf").read())
  File "<string>", line 35
    SMTP_PASS         = 'xxxxx)xxxxx'
                              ^

    SMTP_PASS         = 'xxxxx)xxxxx'
                              ^

Due to this error, the installation was not completed correctly (not all my devices were detected). I re-run the installation without defining SMTP, and this time the installation was successful.
