Config — selkie

There are two items in the toplevel selkie module, outside of all submodules.

  • selkie.__version__ is a string giving version information (major.minor.patch).

  • selkie.config is a dict that is loaded from the Selkie configuration file. If the environment variable SELKIE_CONFIG is set, it will be used as the configuration file pathname. Otherwise, the pathname is ~/.selkie.json. The contents are in standard JSON format. They must be enclosed in braces, which is to say, they must define a dict.

    Various pieces of Selkie’s functionality make use of settings in selkie.config. Each is documented separately.
