Thanks for the suggestion. This way to do is new to me, and I didn't
come to the idea myself. It seems like a good way to do this. But how to
give an argument to this config namespace? i.e I want "app.conf" to be
given as argument.
Currently my program starts like this:
def main():
# See if the user gave a configfile
if len(sys.argv) == 2:
# file was given as argument
cfg = str(sys.argv[1])
else:
# default file taken in the resource directory
cfg = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
os.pardir,'res','default.cfg'))
obj = superobj(cfg)
obj.preprocess()
obj.process()
obj.write()
