OK? And if I should have just used a dictionary, why?

Did you miss my suggestion to use a module rather than a class?
Modules do not have some of the disadvantages of classes listed by J. Nagle.

Hi, sorry I did. I just re-read it, could you provide an example?

I am not sure what you are asking. tkinter.contants is one example.

Sorry i am having a major mind blank this morning (I think this is
obvious!?). And it would meet all of the criteria outlined by John
Nagle?

A module will work fine if but only if you commit yourself to having all keys be legal Python identifiers. But that is usually not a problem with configuration values.
