Here are four small, self-contained example Web applications that go
along with my PyCon 20003 presentation "Beyond the Config File:
User-Friendly Configuration for Web Apps".

Examples 0-2 are the same application implemented in progressively
more user-friendly ways as far as configuration is concerned. #0
hard-codes configuration into the Python code itself. #1 reads
configuration from a separate file, and #2 uses a configuration
framework as described in my paper. #3 has a primitive user accoutn
system, and uses a configuration framework to power both the site
options and the user preferences. Each example has its own README
which describes the application in more detail.

If you're interested in configuration frameworks, you should check out
examples #2 and #3.

Let me know if you have any questions or run into problems.
