importing a config file prefixed with a dot

[Skaperen]

Use exec with only globals.

But from my understanding you only want to import "hidden" file (starting with dot). Two ways were suggested - either use exec or hide your file to a hidden directory and use import. It seems that you insist on doing both at the same time  ...

Why you just dont skip your pyconf and wont use something like:

import sys
sys.path.append('.config/boo')

import my_config_in_boo

since it was suggested to me, because i had not come up with the idea on my own, i looked closely at exec(), and it gave me the idea that having all the incoming config data placed in a separate dictionary, would add beneficial safety, avoiding a chance of variable name collision.  that and it allows for the case of the base file name having the dot regardless of which directory it is in.

i have switched to using just 2 args on exec().
