Yet another mostly-built-in option is to just have a simple file of
key/value pairs, optionally with comments. This can be read with
something like
config = {}
with open('config.ini') as f:
for row in f:
row = row.strip()
if not row or row.startswith(('#', ';')):
continue
k, _, v = row.partition('=')
config[k.strip().upper()] = v.lstrip()
which is pretty straight-forward and easy format to edit.
