I think you should work your way into a proper configuration system.

for ones you can use the buildin module
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-ConfigParser.html

or migrate to the more powerful configObj
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html

with configobj, you will have an instance in memory that you can
modify on runtime with a gui or something and when you hit save it
will rewrite the new config file.
