 I think setting parameters in a config file and setting them on the
command line both have their merits. I like to combine ConfigObj with
argparse; something like:

#~~~
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
<add arguments to parser here>

cfg = configobj.ConfigObj("params_file.cfg")
parser.set_defaults(**cfg.config)
#~~~

Then call parser.parse_args, which will override parameters in the config
file by specifying values on the command line.

Cheers,
