Hi, python beginner starting a new project here.
This project will store most of its actual data in a shared-database, but
I have a small amount of user specific data that I need to be stored like
configuration or preferences for example, the list of databases that the
program should connect to.
On Unix this might be a .file, on windows this could be in the registry,
or an ini file or an xml file in ProgramData or AppData or something.
Is there a pythony way to store such config data, perhaps there is
already a standard python package for such a purpose?
My app uses Qt, and Qt has its method of doing it (QSettings), but for
architectural reasons I don't want to use it.
Could sqlite be an option perhaps? I am still undecided if the ability
for the user to edit the file independently of the program is a good or
bad thing.
I'd go for .file in ConfigParser-format that resides in the users
home-directory. ConfigParser is a standard lib module for .ini-like files.
