Hi,
I'm writing an app that stores some user configuration variables in a
file ~/.program/config, which it then imports like so:
import sys
from posix import environ
sys.path.append(environ["HOME"]+"/.program")
import config
I can then access the configuration through code like:
login(config.username)
My question is, how can I setup my program defaults so that they can
be overwritten by the configuration variables in the user file (and so
I don't have to scatter default values all over my code in try/catch
blocks)? Basically, I would like to be able to do something like this:
config.login = "noone"
config.password = "secret"
.
.
.
import sys
from posix import environ
sys.path.append(environ["HOME"]+"/.program")
import config
So I guess the real question is:
Is there a way to create a module namespace and populate it
before sourcing the file?
