I'm working on an app that will be deployed on several different servers. In each case, I'll want to change some config info (database name, paths, etc.)
In perl, I would have done something like this: Package Config; <some exporting mechanics> $dbname = "somename"; etc. And then use'd the module and referenced the vars as $Config::dbname. What is a pythonic equivalent? These vars are only changed usually at install time. I could set up a class and then instantiate it, but that seems a waste...I guess what I'm looking for is either (a) a way to suck variables into a namespace keeping a prefix (without having to prefix all the vars with something like config_) - e.g., reference them as config.dbname or something - is this execfile? or (b) class variables, which is the route I usually take in Java if not using preferences, etc. I'm aware of configParser and such, and could certainly write a module that parses a configuration file, but using a native python module seems the easiest. I want to do something reasonably pythonic so the python Gods do not smite me for some stupid perlism ;) Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
