Is there a way to support rc files with python?
I want to write a python package (using python 3.7) that allows the user to store information in an rc file.
Suppose ~/.mypackagerc is given by
[DIRECTORIES]
foo_dir = ~/path/to/foo
bar_dir = ~/a/path/to/bar
I know how to use configparser to read this configuration file
import configparser
from pathlib import Path
HOME = Path.home()
config_location = HOME.joinpath('.mypackagerc')
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read(config_location)
foo_dir = Path(config['DIRECTORIES']['foo_dir'])
bar_dir = Path(config['DIRECTORIES']['bar_dir'])
Where should I put this code if I want foo_dir and bar_dir accessible to every module in my package?
If my package is located in ~/mypackage, should I store this code in ~/mypackage/__init__.py?
python python-3.x configuration rc

foo_dirandbar_dirwould have to be defined in some modulefoo; then each module that needs them need to importfooitself. There's no way to "push" values out to all other modules used by a program.
