Module Description
------------------

This python module provides a simple, but extremely flexible and powerful
method of controlling python script execution by use of configuration 
settings
stored in user configuration files.  This module is a more powerful
alternative to the ConfigParser module already available in the standard
Python distribution.

The standard ConfigParser module parses text based user configuration files
and provides access to that information.  This module reads python based
configuration files and provides access to the python objects contained
within.  In addition, this module supports hierarchical organization of the
settings within the configuration files so that settings may be accessed 
using
keys specified by the user from the command line or by other means.  By use 
of
python based configuration files, this module provides a simple solution to
most configuration problems but also has the flexibility to solve the most
complex configuration issues.
