No, you don't need this for the constant number of strings. Because 
almost certainly some of strings will be literals, you can write this in 
a more nice way. Compare:

     'config[' + key + '] = ' + value + '\n'
     ''.join(['config[', key, '] = ', value, '\n'])
     'config[%s] = %s\n' % (key, value)
