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

The docs for Writing the Setup Script, under section 2.7. Installing Additional Files mention:

The data_files option can be used to specify additional files needed by the module distribution: configuration files, message catalogs, data files, anything which doesn’t fit in the previous categories.
