The pas command line tool can be configured to customize its behavior to better suit the user’s needs. To achieve this, it reads configuration settings from two distinct python modules:
- The first loaded module (which is always loaded) is the pas.conf.basesettings module; it contains all default settings as documented in the Settings reference.
- Additionally, if a local settings module is found (either in the CWD or provided by the –settings option), it is loaded too and overrides the values defined by the previous import.
Using this simple mechanism, it is possible to override the default settings on a per-environment basis and to provide your own directives if needed by any custom command.
