It doesn't -- the value 'True' or 'False' is simply returned, and
assigned to a name if the calling function does so explicitly. But
there's no built in affects. If you wa

Since it seems the python motto is "Batteries included", then it would
seem to me that wxPython is the natural fit as it also has "Batteries

it has methods that refer to class variables that do not exist.
The class ``A`` has several complicated methods, a number

If only affects the calling function if you use the return value:
def foo():
return True
def bar1():
foo() # nothing difference, whether foo() returns True or Fal

subclasses of `A`. Hopefully that was clear ...

Attached are a config file parser that i'm working on, and a example
config file. Basically, what my problem is is in write_config, it should
search through the file, and replace the lines with whatever the
