Hello everyone,

this is a pretty simple question, at least that is what I supposed until I have not found anything after searching for over 1,5 hours. I am hoping someone can help me. To be mentioned: I am neither the fittest in Python nor am I an advanced yade user.

My problem:  how to load/read parameter values from an external file, when calling the actual script.py file which contains all the other normal simulation orders and parameters. I just want to have my main script.py file, and in order to not having to open it everytime and scrolling around until all the parameters were adjusted, I would like to have a seperate small file which contains selected variables and their values, that will be most often changed due to experimentation.
I explicitly DO NOT want to run it in batch mode. I am very well aware of that option, but it doesnt suit my needs.

I did also stumble across this question:  https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/244203
It is a very similar question (at least from the title), though it doesnt seem to answer my question at all. It is being mentioned to take a look at the ymport module for loading files into yade, though it is only for geometry and position of spheres as far as I understand? So not what I am looking for.


So is there any python or yade command/module which allows to read variable values from external (text)-files?
