config_resolver provides a simple, yet flexible way to provide configuration to your applications. It follows the XDG Base Dir Spec <https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/0.8/>_ (This instance is based on 0.8 of this spec) for config file locations, and adds additional ways to override config locations. The aims of this package are:

• Provide a simple API

• Follow well-known standards for config-file locations

• Be as close to pure-Python as possible

• Be framework agnostic

• Allow custom configutaion types (.ini and .json support is shipped by default)

• Allow to provide system-wide defaults but allow overriding of values for more specific environments. These are (in increasing order of specificity):

  1. System-wide configuration (potentially requiring root-access to modify)
  2. User-level configuration (for all instances running as that user)
  3. Current Working Directory configuration (for a running instance)
  4. Per-Instance configuration
