Preferences Files

[Mark Fairchild]

Is there a good preferences modules for Python? I know that the Mac
version has one, but I need something cross-platform.

I just started my first Python project, and I'm used to Java. The
java.util.logging package of the JDK is an amazing resource, and I was
pretty surprised when the Python documentation didn't mention any similar
module for Python. Given that Python API has almost EVERYTHING that the
Java API does and more, I'm sure there must be something like the Java
logging module.

I'm not a Java person so possibly I'm misunderstanding you. I usually
store preferences as Python and just load them into my program either
with import or exec.

Yes, it has one : logging !

And for your preferences module, a simple python file called prefs.py
for example can be enough...

There are lots of them. I've had good luck with the standard
ConfigParser module; YMMV.

I don't know what the java.util.logging package does, but recent
Pythons come with a Logging module, which has a suspiciously
similar name.

Learn Lisp today! Uncle Turing wants you!

I learned Lisp a while ago; it truly expanded the number of ways I
can think about solving a problem and organizing a program.

Thanks -- that's exactly what I was looking for. I knew there had to be
something in the Python API -- it's just too complete to be missing a
preferences system.
