I will have to take a look at your changes in detail, but this sounds like a
much better approach and in line with what I had in mind.

One important aspect that you might want to think about twice is to take
advantage of configuration "layers" that are available in Python already. The
examples that I gave earlier were:

    * population of command line defaults from environment variables
      in argparse
    * ConfigParser.read(DEFAULT_CONFIG, # e.g. /usr/share/...
                        SYSTEM_CONFIG,  # e.g. /etc/foo.conf
                        LOCAL_CONFIG,   # e.g. ~/.foo.conf
                        ...) 
      to model the hierarchy between these configuration files.

You might have done this already though, but I just wanted to emphasise this
aspect as it makes it easier for other Python developers to understand your
code.

Thanks for your work this week and I am looking forward to your weekly report
and maybe a new blog post.

Have a good evening!
