This seems like reinventing what the ConfigParser mdoule [1] already does.
I think I will read the config file once and the provide the parameters
with a settings.py module throughout the program and the modules.
Sounds like doing it twice.
But to my optinion Config Parser offers the following advantage:
- Readable
- All are strings => no strange 'mysetting' is needed.
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Timmie
