Thanks very much for the comments. Definitely food for thought and
helpful. I'll review them more completely later today. I'd say chances
of me switching to ConfigObj are high. Yes, about config_var_list was supposed to be a list. That was caused by confusion over syntactically hemming in that long list of items entries properly with [,}, and ). Too many possible entanglements! Somehow, it ended up closing it as a tuple. As an aside, in IDLE, those } and ) sure look alike. Yes, to not putting datetime(...) into the file. Yes, to changing the oddity of rampant indexes. They were beginning to drive me nuts. :-) Maybe the web documents should warn about the horrors of eval. VBG. Possibly the same is true of exec? A good bit of the new "hurry up" code was put there to test some ideas and flush out some unknowns in the code. For some reason, the author missed the opportunity to put in a config file from the start; however, I'm sure he had enough to do in the time he had to squeeze out as much as he did, which is quite good. It looks like it's time to rework the code. The good side here is that I've gotten a better grip on the author's code. That should help as I continue to add new features. ... --
