I don't think that's quite right, because your code has to be changed to read the data from the configuration file in the first place. It doesn't just happen by magic. Essentially, a configuration file is a file that holds configuration data. That data could be anything that makes sense for your program, but you still have to process the data in your program. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
