I see that it's mentioned in the documentation, but I never thought to look in that section. I have an aversion to .ini files; I tend to assume there's always an equivalent Python expression, and it's better. Is there an equivalent Python API in this case?
Well, in a setup.py there's an options or some such that can be used to provide effective command-line option overrides in-line, but that doesn't help for systemwide default configurations, like the files I mentioned. It's effectively only a substitute for setup.cfg.
