Hi Sam,
Interesting point (and probably good for internal config). Just a few
questions (from what I use config files for - user accessible
configuration):
1. How do you deal with syntax errors when the user modifies this file?
(yes, you have to deal with file format errors with flat files, but
1. Syntax errors are just like any exception, they can be caught, handled
and reported to the user.
2. Yes but they can do that in other ways just as easily.
3. Yes, for example in one of my projects I load a settings file/module and
do a getattr on it which allows easily defined defaults no
