importing a config file prefixed with a dot

[Skaperen]

i will be writing the config files in .py format

Well, you can write the file in .config/program_name/file_name

i will try that.

i will now aim for the exec(config_str,{},config_dict) method.  iow, i will open the file (this works with dots in the file name), read the file as a string up to some maximum size (probably 1048575), exec() that string with a reference to an empty directory as the local space, then pick config data out of that directory.  this avoids the module vs. dot issues.
