However, what I've learned from this episode is that while attempting to save configuration data using TINIFile on program termination you should never use a try..finally construct, as it's suggested everywhere, but rather a try..except (or both). Otherwise you'll never be able to catch possible errors.
I'd suggest that there are two separate cases here. In the first case, near the start of a program you decide whether there is a preexisting .ini file, create it if not, and if necessary update it to contain e.g. the default name of a backend server. In the second case, at the the end of a program run you save the current session's state.
