[Tutor] Retriving previous user inputs in a gui

[Karim]

after tests I get the following:

 >>> import params
 >>> dir(params)
['EntryTextMail', 'EntryTextName', '__builtins__', '__doc__', 
'__file__', '__name__', '__package__']
 >>> params.EntryTextName
'myName'
 >>> params.EntryTextMail
'myMail at gmail.com'

But the file to import should have '.py' extension (<Module>.py) (if 
there is a way to avoid that
I wanted to use a 'hidden' file kind of ".config" , I can create a 
dynamical link to that
file with <Module>.py then import it and at last delete the symbolic 
link). I should do a small class
for that to reuse it.

At first I tried to access it as variables instead of using 
<Module>.variable. I learnt something here!

Karim
