Thus I'd have something like (apologies for any syntax errors):-
cfg = { "LeisureVolts": ["AIN0", 0.061256, "Leisure Battery Voltage"],
"StarterVolts": ["AIN1", 0.060943, "Starter Battery Voltage"],
"LeisureAmps1": ["AIN2", 0.423122, "Leisure Battery Current"}
(It might be better to makes those lists dictionaries, but it shows
the idea)
Using configparser.ConfigParser to read an ini-format seems like a good
idea. I use it for my own numerous fixed format data file definitions,
and it's been convenient and even extensible.
[LeisureVolts]
Description=Leisure Battery Voltage
Code=AIN0
Value=0.061256
[StarterVolts]
Description=Starter Battery Voltage
Code=AIN1
Value=0.060943
[LeisureAmps1]
Description=Leisure Battery Current
Code=AIN2
Value=0.423122
I've set it up so I can understand abbreviations for the field names,
for when I want to be lazy.
Some of my values are dictionaries, which looks like this in my files
(an alternate spelling of one of the above entries):
LeisureVolts=desc:Leisure Battery Voltage
code:AIN2
value:0.061256
It's simple to hook into ConfigParser to get whatever meaning you'd
like, and whatever verification you'd find necessary.
