[Tutor] Retriving previous user inputs in a gui

[Karim]

Thank you Alan for your answer.
In fact I want to do it in python format.
I want to source it (I will declare it each
input as a python variable).
I don't want to parse it. I just want to source it
like an external file in bash for example.
Is there a way to not use string evaluation. But really load it
  as python setting file inside python program.

PS: ConfigParser, hum very good , this could be of use for other part...
