And yet, to me it seems wrong to have more than one instance of config data floating around. Instead of using a global you can pass the config object, or just the appropriate attributes, around to your lib functions/classes, as necessary -- and keep the flow in your main script. For example (highly speculative, FWIW), # app.py from database.connection import getcursor from lib.persist import Storage def main(): confp = ConfigParser() confp.read(join_relative(__file__, 'config/prefs.ini')) config = confp.defaults() curs = getcursor(config[db_connection_string]) ... storage = Storage(config[storage_path]) ...
