Hello list Tarek opened a distutils bugs in http://bugs.python.org/issue7175 that evolved into a discussion about the proper location to use for config files. Distutils uses [.]pydistutils.cfg and .pypirc, and now unittest2 has a config file too. It would be nice to define one standard location for config files used by stdlib modules, and maybe also by third-party programs related closely to Python development (testing tools, static code checkers and the like), in a way that doesn’t clutter the user home directory with a dozen dotfiles while still being easily found. (The Unix notions of dotfiles and home directory have to be adapted to use non-dotfiles in some standard place on various Windows. The Mac experts disagree on the right directory to use.) Tarek, Antoine, RDM, MAL were +1 on using ~/.python (whether to use .pythonx.y or .python/x.y is a subissue to discuss after general agreement). What do you think about this? Regards
