mutable values to string items?

[fozz]

Why do you suddenly need a file? Before you had a list that contained this information. Why can't you still use a list (or a dictionary)?

Because i want to use a configuration file that doesn't have to be edited in the file itself since so the software can read the setted channels from its own configuration

What string are you talking about here?

The string is like this in the new situation:
limiter_chans.ircnet "#python,#forum"

Like i said in the posts above you can set it in the software like:

/set plugins.var.python.limiter.limiter_chans.ircnet #python,#forum

What command in your program is returning this string? Or are you trying to generate a string like this?

channels = config_get_plugin('limiter_chans.{}'.format(network))

Also noticed that in the posts and it doesn't matter if it is weechat or not, I'm only asking how to store the data to a file and how to retrieve that back. Does it matter, the software is weechat?As far as i know it is a pyhon question, nothing more.
