Hello again, So after looking at the problem with fresh eyes, I have come across the getattr and setattr functions within python.
I think I may have cracked it, some initial tests show positive results. I used getattr(config, configVar).append(object) which seems to have worked really well opposed to using setattr(config, configVar, object) which seemed to give the equivalent of config.configVar = object rather than appending. As far as general project setup goes however is it advised to using config/project wide variables?
