Let me start a simple confing to help me based on:

• https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html
• https://pymotw.com/3/configparser/

Here is a simple config file, names config.ini

[DEFAULT]
user_root = /Users/ai/
hotel_root = /Users/ai/Google Drive/My Drive/Hotel
repo_root = /Users/ai/repos/
gdrive = /Users/ai/Google Drive/My Drive
data_root = /Users/ai/Google Drive/My Drive/Data
db_root = 

[deepspace.local]
user_root = /Users/ai/
hotel_root = /Users/ai/Google Drive/My Drive/Hotel
repo_root = /Users/ai/repos/
gdrive = /Users/ai/Google Drive/My Drive

Now, lets code config.py to read thse values from the file config.ini

import configparser
import socket 

config = configparser.ConfigParser()
hostname = socket.gethostname()

config.read('config.ini')
print(config.sections())


deepspace = config[hostname]
hotel_root = deepspace['hotel_root']
print(hotel_root)

print(config['DEFAULT']['data_root'])
