Still have to prepend "default" when assigning variables to this class, but it now allows val = inst.vaule:

re: wx.Config encapsulation improved with __getattribute__()

I cleaned this up too:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2.     def GetVariables(self):
  3.         return [{"name":name[7:], "value":value, "type":type(value)}
  4.                 for name, value in getmembers(self) if name.startswith('default')]
