I use the property method, but instead of checking to see if the string is equal to yes or no, I prefer to check if the string starts with (case insensitive) "YT1". This allows the file to contain true, True, t, T, y, Y, yes, Yes, 1, etc. all which will evaluate to true. While I can specify that false is false, False, f, F, n, N, no, No, 0, etc., anything that doesn't match the true still evaluates to false.
