Class Modules, and Passing Variables: Seeking Advice

[Gribouillis]

I would also like to learn more about how to create and implement a configuration file that Gribouillis had suggested for the file path names and global variables.

Here is a way to do this. You first create a configuration file such as this one

Output:
# alysha.conf

[tasks]
command_file = C:/100_Robo_pass/Commands.txt

This file can be somewhere on your filesystem such as YOURHOMEDIR/.config/alysha.d/alysha.conf

Your program can then read the configuration file by using python's configparser module. For python 2 it reads

from ConfigParser import SafeConfigParser
import os
from os.path import join as pjoin

conf_filename = pjoin(
    os.path.expanduser('~'), '.config', 'alysha.d', 'alysha.conf')

conf = SafeConfigParser()
conf.read(conf_filename)

command_filename = conf.get('tasks', 'command_file')

The location of the configuration file can be fined-tuned later, for example the program can have a command line option to override the default location, different locations can be tried such as the current working directory or some other standard place. The above code gives you a simple start to using a configuration file for your application. You can also read this overview of configparser.
