I have a use case where I’d like to store a handful of strings with static values, alongside my code that references them. The general reason for not hard coding them where they’re called, is that I’d like to make it easy for the end user to customize and modify them.
Are there any suggestions or comments about the best ways to do this? Storing them in a python file as vars seems reasonable. I’ve also considered saving them as JSON, though I don’t know if there’s any benefit to that in this case.
Thoughts are appreciated.
How many? I probably wouldn’t even bother with JSON, just one string per line in a text file.
Sorry, I should have given more detail about the nature of the strings.
Right now it’s about ~15, however that could grow to maybe a maximum of 30. Some are short sentences, but others might be a couple sentences long.
I’d absolutely use a text file, one entry per line. Once you need to start associating other information with those strings, it becomes time for JSON or similar.
