[Biopython-dev] Configuration files

[Tiago Antão]

Hi,

Is there any (Biopython standard) way to configure Biopython during
runtime? When writing code sometimes I think it would be very
convenient (especially to the programmer using Biopython) to abstract
some configuration parameters away from the code. Things like the
location of binaries, hosts, user names (and maybe passwords) of
databases, timeout parameters, etc. These could be stored on a
configuration file (or registry entry, or whatever) thus saving users
to have to deal in the code with supplying these...
Just an idea...
