While what you propose is certainly possible -- after all, a Python script is
just a file and can be therefore read and altered by Python, but for the
scenario you mention it is not the best solution. What if the script is
installed read-only? What if different users on the system where the script is
installed want different settings?

There was a thread on this list titled "The best way to implement a config file
???". I would look in this direction for a solution.
