was going to downvote as I use config.py everywhere -- but your second paragraph made me laugh (due to familiarity) so you get the upvote. I suggest that all solutions to the config problem gravitate towards major suckage, but creating new micro-languages like yaml just seems like adding more complexity for zero benefit. The advantage of config.py and config.js is that anyone claiming to be a programmer can read them and immediately grok exactly what's going on. That said, starting now I would go with json as it is the lingua franca that every language has to understand -- and it is not a full programming language; you can't do conditionals or loops etc. Put that shit in your code please! Logic should never be platform-dependant.
