Re: parameter files
Thanks for the examples.
I don't think you understood what I meant by a run. All I meant is
that I want to save the configuration, for reference purposes, that was
used for a particular run. That way I can reproduce the results if
necessary, and I can avoid confusion about which parameters were used
to get particular results.
I don't need a section for each run. I only need one set of parameters.
I suppose I could use the sections for different modules or classes,
each of which needs its own parameters.

See ConfigParser:

You can save values for each run in a separate [section].
Execfile is a pretty big hammer for this.
Hey, that looks interesting, but those docs don't do it for me. Can you
point me to some more extensive examples of how to use ConfigParser?
Just forget about interpolation and such; declare a section for each
run in your config file:
[run_name_one]
a=123
b=Test
c=4.0
[run_two]
a=456
b=Whatever
c=0.1
config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
config.read(filename)
a = config.getint('run_two','a') # a==456
b = config.get('run_name_one','b') # b=='Test'
section = 'run_two'
c = config.getfloat(section,'c') # c==0.1

parameter files
I have a python module (file) that has a set of parameters associated with it. Let's say the module is called code.py. I would like to keep the parameter assignments in a separate file so that I can save a copy for each run without having to save the entire code.py file. Let's say the parameter file is called parameters.py. Normally, code.py would simply import the parameters.py file. However, I don't want the parameters to be accessible to any other file that imports the code.py file. to prevent such access, I preface the name of each parameter with an underscore. But then the parameters aren't even visible in code.py! So I decided to use execfile instead of import so the parameters are visible. That solved the problem, but I am just wondering if there is a better and/or more standard way to handle a situation like this. Any suggestions? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
