====Configure files routine====
====XML routine====
=====XML=====
If you need to store activity configure files the best way is using XML (it's well supported in Python and still human readable/editable).
 
There are [http://docs.python.org/library/markup.html dozens] Python classes to satisfy XML standard but if you want just save/load parameters use "Zen of XML" in Python - [http://effbot.org/zone/element.htm ElementTree] library. It's supported out of the box in Python 2.5(xml.etree.ElementTree module). In previous version you'll have to install library by yourself.
