Now, let's focus to our main topic.

For Internal And External Functions Handling, We will Create a new script called "ConfigSettings.py". In this project, we will use this script like a connector between app and other functions. 

Now, Currently my directory structure look like this.


MagicStick_Editor_Part_1
 |
 |---> About.txt  
 |
 |---> magicsticklibs
 |  |
 |  |---> __init__.py
 |  |     
 |  |---> Main.py
 |  |            
 |  |---> TextPad.py
 |  |
 |  |---> Graphics.py
 |  |
 |               |---> ConfigSettings.py 
 |
 |
 |---> main.py


Now, We need to make a class in "ConfigSettings.py" for handling external script functions.


1. Write Below Code in "ConfigSettings.py"
