Configuration of a Quixote app
David Ascher

Would anyone else like it if the mechanism used for configuring a Quixote file
could be used both for Quixote itself and for application-specific details?

Put differently, how are people dealing with configuration files for their
applications?  I'm finding configuration to be somewhat of a hassle,
especially as I want the configuration to be independent of the particular web
server integration model (i.e. adding a line to the .cgi script doesn't work
if you want the same app to be available through mod_python, etc.).

I'm thinking it would be nice if there were a single .ini file, with a
[QUIXOTE] section which defines all of the things currently in the .conf file,
as well as other sections for other parts of the complete system.

Thoughts?
