questions/thoughts on config.py

Hellau

What do you think about adding a 'blog_home' property to config.py?

py['blog_home'] = "/path/to/weblog"

After that one could write additional dir related props like:
py['datadir'] = py['blog_home']+"/data"
py['flavourdir'] = py['blog_home']+"/flavours"
py['logdir'] = py['blog_home']+"/logs"
py['plugin_dirs'] = [py['blog_home']+"/plugins"]
...


Also, as some plugins require additional non-standard modules (like
'xmlrpc_pingback' which uses 'feedparser') I was thinking on where to
put those. How do you folks handle this?

Would something like:
py["codelibs"] = [py['blog_home']+"/lib", "/some/other/funky/libdir"]

and then in PyBlosxom.__init__:
if config.has_key("codelibs"):
    sys.path.reverse()
    config["codelibs"].reverse()
    sys.path.extend(config["codelibs"])
    sys.path.reverse()

be a good idea?

cheers
Steven
