Create a python module that defines the variables you want, and then import it (or from it). You can then edit that module as a config file. That's one suggestion - with the security risks associated with an import statement... Alternatively, my usual reccomendation for a config file reader is ConfigObj... ;-) All the best, Fuzzyman http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/index.shtml -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
