Module Description
------------------

This python module provides a simple, but extremely flexible and powerful 
method of controlling python script execution by use of configuration settings 
stored in user configuration files.  This module is a more powerful 
alternative to the ConfigParser module already available in the standard 
Python distribution.

The standard ConfigParser module parses text based user configuration files 
and provides access to that information.  This module reads python based 
configuration files and provides access to the python objects contained 
within.  In addition, this module supports hierarchical organization of the 
settings within the configuration files so that settings may be accessed using 
keys specified by the user from the command line or by other means.  By use of 
python based configuration files, this module provides a simple solution to 
most configuration problems but also has the flexibility to solve the most 
complex configuration issues.
