Seperate class, probably should be included in the main file.
This reads a configuration file of the form:

The header group adds a comment, specifies the field and
row delimiters to be expected (\n should not be changed)
the recordname is the row tag.
The number of fields specifies the number of fields to expect.
  This format is specified in one of the RFC's.

Source Attribution. Sorry, I should have said: The idea of using an external properties file came from Danny Ayers, http://www.isacat.net/2001/code/CSVtoXML.htm and I used those ideas, until I found the ConfigParser python module, which makes use of the win32 ini file format.
