I'm trying to something simple (yeah, right). Mainly I want to have a bunch of variables which my program needs and uses to be in a saveable/loadable block. Currently I have then all as a bunch of globals which works, but trying to keep track of them and the correct spellings, etc becomes a bit of maintenance nightmare. So, demonstrating all my cleverness I came up with:
class Opts(): var1 = 123 var2 = "hello world" Notationally, it looks much like the variables are stored in a separate module. I can call these options from within a function with the simple notation: if Opts.var1 == 99 ... And, if I need to change a value I can: global Opts.var1 = 0 Further, and importantly, I can save the lot with: json.dump(Opts.__dict__, open("mybuffer", "w")) But, I can't figure out how to load the saved data back into my program. Doing z=json.load (open("mybuffer", "r")) loads a dictionary ... which makes sense since that is what I saved. So, can I now reset the values in Opts from a saved dictionary?
