Wow--your use case is really interesting.  Glad things work so far for

The config file is a python script.  So it gets imported and then the py
dict is sent around in the pyblosxom request.

So, in the config.py file, you can check out os.environ (probably want to
look at REQUEST_URI--depends on how you distinguish between the blogs
url-wise), figure out which blog is being "run", and then either set the
properties for that blog by reading in a .ini file, execute another .py
file or something along those lines to set the properties specific to that
blog.

Way back when we were deciding what to do with configuration (whether to
leave it as a .py or change it to a .ini), we decided to leave it as a .py
because it gives us a huge amount of flexibility for issues exactly like
this.
