+
+<p>
+Package implementing the preferences interface.
+</p>
+<p>
+The preferences interface consists of a class, which defines the default
+values for all configuration items and stores the actual values. These
+values are read and written to the eric7 preferences file by module
+functions. The data is stored in a file in a subdirectory of the users home
+directory. The individual configuration data is accessed by accessor functions
+defined on the module level. The module is simply imported wherever it is
+needed with the statement 'import Preferences'. Do not use
+'from Preferences import *' to import it.
