First, one of the posters got it right. Nothing is REALLY ever "written"
to the file. Consider it a global variable that isn't a global variable.
Assume you have two modules, A and B. Both modules import config.
Furthermore, let's assume that Module B 'writes' a variable called "font"...

There are a few other questions. Let's say config.py contains a variable
like 'font' that is a user set preference or a
Many years ago, Fredrik Lundh provided an answer for this question
on his website effbot.org. Unfortunately that site has gone, but luckily,

I tend to use JSON for this type of thing.
Suggest that you use the options to pretty print the json that is saved so that
a human can read it.

My particular case at the moment is calibration values for ADC inputs
which are set by running a calibration program and used by lots of
