The file type you mention is also called an INI file, and is used for Windows initialization scripts, among other things.
There's a nice recipe on this in the Python Cookbook: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65334
This will read your file in as a dictionary. You can then do searches through lists of the keys:
mydict = LoadConfig(file.ini) for key in mydict.keys(): if re.search(key,"_at"): do_something(mydict[key])
Given the size of the file, I don't think that's a good idea...
