[reportlab-users] Python 3.x progress

[Andy Robinson]

Exactly.   The modern way is to look in various places  (e.g.
.rl_config in your home directory, or even in Django settings if you
are inside a Django project), and have that be the final place we
look.  There are probably only half a dozen settings people might want
to work with.

I am learning more about Sphinx but still don't know my way around it.

But then, Sphinx also has a seperate (user) config file. Maybe that would be a path to think about... From my reportlab usage in the past I can just say that fiddling with reportlab.rl_config.py was mostly not the nicest aspect of using the package.
