Thanks for the replies. I would like to use the second method because I plan to implement everything in python.
The main problem of your second method is that you repeat the check function in each script. That will be a problem if you ever want to modify it. I might put is into a separate file and import into each script.
Unfortunately I have not been
able to work out how to get the imports to work. import config_script obviously doesn't work and __import__(config_script) works from the python interpreter but fails in the script (ImportError: Import by filename is not supported.)
Look at builtin function __import__(filename). -- Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
