*** Variables ***

${Delay}            0  

in my settings.txt file i have a variable named

Answer 1

Ok I think I've solved this problem by writing a simple script.

I Just wrote a program which will read the file settings.txt and find the line @{BROWSER} firefox chrome IE and then extract browsers name and store into a list . so this script will return a List something like this ['firefox', 'chrome', 'IE']

now instead of using single pybot command I'll use it in a Loop

for browser in browsers:
        call(['pybot','--variable'] +['BROWSER:%s'%browser] + test_args) 

settings.txt file will contain two variable

${BROWSER}          firefox      #So default browser is firefox. you can leave it blank
@{BROWSERS}         firefox  chrome  IE
