'Registry' or 'Preference' settings in Mac Python

[Robert Avery]

Is there any way for me to save some sort of global preference for
python that I can read/write at runtime that doesn't involve me
explicitly creating a file? It may create a file underneath, but I
don't want some path hard coded to my routine.

In Windows, the Registry serves this purpose. Is there something
similar for Mac?
