When I have done this, I've used the last option -- creating a "config" module which can be imported wherever the configuration info is needed. (This module also handles any config files and/or Windows registry keys needed.) Using a Borg is a nice idea... but that ConfigBorg is probably going to be in its own module, which will need to be imported anyhow... so why not let sys.__import__() do your singleton-enforcement for you?
Of course, I hesitate to claim anything that I do as being necessarily related to "best practices", but what would Usenet be without swarms of half-informed opinions? ;) Jeff Shannon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
