Package: offlineimap
Version: 4.0.3
Severity: wishlist
I define $ETC, which points to the directory holding my
configuration, like offlineimap's. Could you allow offlineimap to
use environment variables in the config file?
I tried
metadata = os.getenv('VAR') + '/offlineimap'
but that does not seem to be evaluated, just read, and obviously,
*such* a file does not exist.
Thanks,

Dear submitter,
A while ago you requested to support environment variables inside the
offlineimaprc config file.
There are a few options you can try:
1) python format strings (correct syntax to evaluate variables)
2) setting pythonfile (how to provide arbitrary python to config file)
3) setting $HOME
1) python format strings:
# NOTE: Settings generally support python interpolation. This means
# values can contain python format strings which refer to other values
# in the same section, or values in a special DEFAULT section. This
# allows you for example to use common settings for multiple accounts:
#
# [Repository Gmail1]
# trashfolder: %(gmailtrashfolder)s
#
# [Repository Gmail2]
# trashfolder: %(gmailtrashfolder)s
#
# [DEFAULT]
# gmailtrashfolder = [Google Mail]/Papierkorb
#
# would set the trashfolder setting for your German gmail accounts.
2) pythonfile
########## Advanced settings
# You can give a Python source filename here and all config file
# python snippets will be evaluated in the context of that file.
# This allows you to e.g. define helper functions in the Python
# source file and call them from this config file. You can find
# an example of this in the manual.
#
# pythonfile = ~/.offlineimap.py
#
3) setting $HOME
In a few places ~/bla seems to be correctly evaluated. Hence you can
cheat and set $HOME and hopefully it will do the trick.
Hope one of these solutions will do what you want.
