Description
Applications often need to have many parameters defined for execution. A few can be
done with the command line, but this does not scale very well. I present a simple use of
embedded Python that makes it easy to specify configuration data for applications,
avoiding wiring in constants, or writing elaborate parsing difficult to justify for small, or
one-off applications. But the capability extends far beyond that, in that the full power of
Python is available for computation, consistency checking, importing default parameters.
