No idea what that is.

At the beginning of my scripts, I have a sequence like
test_mode = False # True for testing, False for production
if test_mode :
home_dir = "/home/shop-test"
else :
home_dir = "/home/shop"
#end if
sys.path.append(home_dir + "/lib")
import common
[etc]
I have an installation script that looks for that "test_mode = True/False"
assignment and edits it accordingly. That flag is used to select the top-
level directory (as above) as well as the database name, etc. This allows me
to run two complete parallel sets of code and data, so I can mess around
with the testing version without impacting the production system.

For my last project using the above system, I used XML as the config file
format.
