* Python also cares a lot about how lines are indented.  Do not change the indentation from the sample files, and always indent using spaces ( not tabs. most text editors will use spaces automatically for .py files, even if you use the tab key )

Modes are a set of parameters you may want to use for a specialization of the application, this may be to adapt the application to a particular environment or user.  Because of this the first method in parameters.py is normally choose_mode.  It has calls to the modes in your parameter file ( except the default mode that is called prior to choose mode ).  Normally all but the mode you want are commented out.  There is also a mode at the end, plus_test_mode that is used to temporarily  modify another mode.  So once you have you system set up you will most often just switch modes using choose_mode.
