Hi Tracy,
This config stuff comes up quite a bit in Python coding. One of the
simplest approaches is to use classes as you were thinking, but not to
bother with instantiation:
# config.py
class defaults:
load_warning=2
load_critical=4
disk_warning=90
disk_critical=95
class djutil01(defaults):
report_load = (2, 4)
report_disk = (90, 25)
# end config.py
Then to use it:
# myprog.py
import config
# if you want a more readable call that using getattr() directly,
# and/or a better error message
def get_config(serverName):
container = getattr(config, serverName, None)
if container is None:
raise KeyError, 'No config for server name %r' % serverName
return container
...
print get_config(someServerName).report_load
# or
server = get_config(someServerName)
print server.report_load
print server.load_warning
That's all there is to it.
