I suggest the following:
Look for argv[0]+'.pythonv' and then for '../pythonv.cfg'.
So if I've linked the Python executable to ./bin/clean, look for ./bin/clean.pythonv and ./pythonv.cfg.
Nice - I like the ability to have multiple interpreters side-by-side with different pythonv configurations.
Is ".cfg" generally preferred to ".conf" for some good reason?
I dunno.
I don't personally care too much; the former is shorter but the latter looks less ugly to me ;-)
I don't care either.
And I kind of dislike the inconsistency in extension; would "clean.pythonv.cfg" be acceptable?
Anything's acceptable. :) The main idea is to base the config file name on the executable name.
To simplify documentation and allow more flexibility, I might just check for all four: first the executable-specific one in both directories, then the general one in both directories.
<shrug> I don't think that's necessary.
