Probles parsing a text file

Hello,

Try:
#!/usr/bin/env python
try:
    fo = open("server.cfg")
    print "Reading server CFG file"
    for line in fo:
        line = line.strip() # Strip white spaces
        if (not line) or line.startswith("#"):
            continue
        eval(line) # *** UNSAFE ***
        print "line executed"
except IOError, e:
    print "Can't read server CFG (%s)" % e

Note that using "eval" is very unsafe. Someone might place
'shutil.rmtree("/")' inside the CFG file.

No problem.
