using ConfigParser in python

You need to use absolute paths when pointing to your config file
import ConfigParser
import os
config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
config.read(os.getcwd() + '/utils/settings.cfg')
This made me scratch my head for a while!  Gives you errors when you assume it to use relative paths.
File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/ConfigParser.py", line 511, in get
    raise NoSectionError(section)
ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'config'
