Oh i see you read all the files.
Usually you need to stop looking once you find an rc file.
I guess that really depends on the program, but since pdb is modelled
on
gdb, I figured it made sense to do something similar :)
I don't have a problem with "cascading" configuration files, but in my
understanding, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/python/pdbrc, ~/config/python/pdbrc, and
~/.pdbrc are conceptually all the same thing: the user's personal config
file. I don't know how gdb does it, but I imagine it would be a rather
annoying debugging session if you had a stale ~/.pdbrc lying around and
it
partially overrides $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/python/pdbrc (partially because
it's
the ancestor version of the XDG-ly-correct file). Pragmatically I don't
see a practical use case for having more than one "user" file plus the
"project-local" file.
I'm happy to be taught otherwise, but I suspect if *all* the files are
read
and last one wins for each setting, it will need to be documented
emphatically.
