 # TODO add a command to edit config?? e.g. HPI config edit
 If you're not planning to use private configuration (some modules don't need it) you can skip straight to the next step. Still, I'd recommend you to read anyway.
 
-The configuration contains paths to the data on your disks, links to external repositories, etc.
+The configuration usually contains paths to the data on your disk, and some modules have extra settings.
 The config is simply a *python package* (named =my.config=), expected to be in =~/.config/my=.
 
 Since it's a Python package, generally it's very *flexible* and there are many ways to set it up.

   To find out which attributes you need to specify:

+  - if there is nothing there, the easiest is perhaps to skim through the module's code and search for =config.= uses.
    
     For example, if you search for =config.= in [[file:../my/emfit/__init__.py][emfit module]], you'll see that it's using =export_path=, =tz=, =excluded_sids= and =cache_path=.
 
   - or you can just try running them and fill in the attributes Python complains about!

-As you can see, generally you specify fixed paths (e.g. to your backups directory) in ~__init__.py~.
-Feel free to add other files as well though to organize better, it's a real Python package after all!

-Some things (e.g. links to external packages like [[https://github.com/karlicoss/hypexport][hypexport]]) are specified as *ordinary symlinks* in ~repos~ directory.
