Hi henk-jan,
I have made a few fixes and improvements to this.
1. if no 'custommenus' section exists in bots.ini you get an error (fix with 
try/except). I also found that touchscreen needs a try/except or it gives an 
error first time when there are no user groups.
2. if the menu is saved in a dict; the sequence of menu options cannot be 
controlled (fix by making it a list)
3. case of the key is not preserved when reading from bots.ini ("Outgoing" 
becomes "outgoing"; improve by using .title() method)
4. Improve: can set the menu name eg. menuname = Mike's Menu (default is 
"Custom")
5. Improve: can add menu dividers eg. divider1 = --- (key can be "anything", 
inserts a <hr/>)

Kind Regards,
Mike

hi Mike,

added this.

I can not replicate the problem with the touchscreen.
currently it is implemented like this:
     groups = request.user.groups.values_list('name',flat=True)
     if groups and 'touchscreen' in groups:
         bots_touchscreen = True
     else:
         bots_touchscreen = False
  I think this avoids the problem.

I did some debugging on this with your version.
When logged out of bots, request.user = 'AnonymousUser' and 
request.user.groups.values_list('name',flat=True) gives the following error:

yes, got this error myself now.
(this is always so strange to me. I work a lot with bots, do not get any 
errors; but after the bug is reported I run into it myself ;-))
fixed it (try...except), will put this in repository soon.
