Well I created two classes now. I put some things global (your point 6).
e.g. if it's on Windows or not, and other things.

when I find out what you mean, I will. Probably something lika a 'case'
thing? #python meant a list containing functions or so. So that the
values represent the functions to call, isn 'it?

As I mentioned above, these I placed globally:

main gtkwindows, 
smwin or not, 
pyexe or not,  
preferred encoging

according to your statement?


Anyway, since I did lot of changes, I'm myself confused actually.

advices from all in some days.
