Now I've been tasked to change the script so that the script doesn't need

Furthermore, the path can't be hard coded into the script, but rather
should read the installer should be able to edit a text file to specify the
paths to the read file (log from which we're extracting data) and the write
file (file to which we're send the extracted data). I thought this would be
a trivial exercise, but I'm stuck.
An alternative way to configurate execution parameters is to pass the
filenames as arguments to your program which you can access via
/sys.argv/ (modules to consider: /getopt/, /optparser/):
optparse is deprecated, from
https://docs.python.org/3/library/optparse.html "Deprecated since
version 3.2: The optparse module is deprecated and will not be developed
further; development will continue with the argparse module". argparse
is here https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html
There are also the third party modules docopt
https://github.com/docopt/docopt which is excellent and clize
https://github.com/epsy/clize which I've never tried.
