It looks like the problem was me. PEBCAC (Problem Exists Between Computer

One thing I'm doing with this script is having support for different
"themes", which each theme in its own directory and having its own
configuration file. I have my script choose a theme at random. Originally I
had forgotten to pass an open mode to File.open(), and it looks like as it
was opening files, it was stomping on them and wiping out all contents - so
there were indeed files that were empty. I had meant to pass "r" as the
open mode. I have re-created my configuration files, and it seems to work
properly.
