2006/1/30, Fredrik Lundh <fredrik at pythonware.com>:
fwiw, I've never used INI files to store program state, and I've never used the save support in ConfigParser.
As a SiGeFi developing decision, we obligated us to keep the program state between executions (hey, if I set the window this big, I want the window this big next time!).
It was natural to us to save it in the user home directory, in a ".sigefi" file.
And we thought it was unpolite, at less, to put a pickled dictionary in users home directory. That's how we finished keeping program state in a .INI, :s.
