Merge utils and Config

I don't really understand the conceptual distinction between python/utils/*.py and python/Config/Base.py. Maybe someone else does?

I'm all for breaking the code in Config/Base.py into smaller chunks as the need arises. But if we're going to have generic-sounding files / directories (like Config, utils, Base.py) I'd rather it be one big file than several with no obvious logic to how things are sorted into them.
