Thanks Chris,
I'm on windows. Rats. However, your sample has given me a number of
things to think about. Right now I have set the proxy this way:
def getConfigItem(key):
#Using this as my config file till I figure out how to use the dev/
prod.cfg
configdict = dict(
proxy=True,
proxyserver="myproxy.com",
proxyport=8080
)
return configdict[key]
Then throughout the project I import the object above and use it as
necessary:
self.proxy = getConfigItem("proxy")
self.proxyurl = getConfigItem("proxyserver")
self.proxyport = getConfigItem("proxyport")
And this all works fine, I was just looking for perhaps a prettier way
to let the entire application know whether it needed to the use the
proxy (because it's a development environment) or not (prod.) without
having to edit too much code between environments.
Thanks again for your tips, I'll continue to chip away.
