Better, in my view, is to have the import module set up default values

                # this may require making a them all globals since
                # assignments inside this function would be locals

And then your main program

import myconfig
...
myconfig.initialize(sys.argv[1])

Yes ok I think got it. Thanks! I like the idea and will implement it, 
this will avoid the useless superobject and allow to have to configfile 
available to anyone.
