Where to put a configuration file in Python?

Question

In development mode, I have the following directory tree :

| my_project/
| setup.py
| my_project/
    | __init__.py
    | main.py
    | conf/
        | mypro         


        

Answer 1

If you're using setuptools, see the chapter on using non-package data files. Don't try to look for the files yourself.
