`astropy.config.paths:get_config_dir`

source: /astropy/config/paths.py :72

Signature

staticmethod def get_config_dir ( rootname : str = astropy ) → str

Summary

Determines the package configuration directory name and creates the directory if it doesn't exist.

Extended Summary

This directory is typically $HOME/.astropy/config, but if the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is set and the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/astropy directory exists, it will be that directory. If neither exists, the former will be created and symlinked to the latter.

Parameters

rootname : str: Name of the root configuration directory. For example, if rootname = 'pkgname', the configuration directory would be <home>/.pkgname/ rather than <home>/.astropy (depending on platform).

Returns

configdir : Path: The absolute path to the configuration directory.
