[Tutor] Retriving previous user inputs in a gui

[Karim]

Ok I find a solution (need to test it) that seems correct:

Suppose we have a python file mySourceFile with this setting:

EntryTextName = "myName"
EntryTextMail   = "myMail at gmail.com"

In the calling script or main python file we could define a function 
sourceConfigGui as follow:

def sourceConfigGui(mySourceFile,path_to_mysourcefile):

import mySourceFile
import sys
sys.path.append(path_to_mysourcefile)


If you have any other solution to source a external py file let me know.

Regards
