R. David Murray added the comment: The "tendency of CLI applications to do it wrong" comes from the fact that they are following the *older* unix (de-facto) standard, which is to put config files in the home directory as dot files. That is, they are *not* doing it wrong, they are following the older unix de-facto standard and not the freedesktop.org standard (which, you will note, is a standard arising out of GUI applications, not CLI applications).
Not, mind, you, that I think .config is a bad standard, I'm just saying that if you want to follow standards you need to account for the legacy standard as well as the new standard. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7175> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
