Consider:

def read_default_from_config(cfg_file):
    #pseudocode
    if not_specified_in(cfg_file):
        return None
    return read_value_from(cfg_file)

a = None
b = read_default_from_config("1.cfg")
c = read_default_from_config("2.cfg")

print a or b or c

Now, what happens when the user puts a default of 0 in 1.cfg? This was
my intended point.

Cheers,
Chris
