Thanks for various useful suggestions. actually right now I am using conf files only in psp handler of mod_python/apache but I have other processes which might use same config files.
One way is I can put conf related data directly in database and database handling module can directly pickup values from db. but the problem with that approach is that it is difficult in managing changes from version control system.as I need to explicitly create DB scripts to put it in version control and other devs require them run those scripts. but if I put those conf params in files it would be easy for me to change params and useful for other developers to integrate those changes in their dev environments without doing any explicit ops. here I would like to have python file which read conf from text file and load those params in current process space. so only importing that python file should read up the conf file and load the current process with configurable parameters. I thought this would be good way to do it, rather than getting involved in slightly complicted reload mechanisms of python modules?
