Bases: object

__init__(configObj, filename)

get_config_obj()

resolve_file_path(filename, ipythondir=None)

Resolve filenames into absolute paths.

This function looks in the following directories in order:

1. In the current working directory or by absolute path with ~ expanded
2. In ipythondir if that is set
3. In the IPYTHONDIR environment variable if it exists
4. In the ~/.ipython directory

Note: The IPYTHONDIR is also used by the trunk version of IPython so

changing it will also affect it was well.
