As a note I learned about os.path.expanduser("~") with aprs2influxdb work... probably useful here.
def getConfig():
"""Open configuration file and return a list of config database
Searches the current directory as well as Python specific install
location such as /etc/<installPath> or C:/python27/<installPath>.

installPath2 = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), ".local", "etc", "aprs2influxdb", "config.ini")

Summary
Weird name I know... Basically I noticed that after
pip install faraday
that if I was in the github main repo folder performing Faraday configuration commands such asfaraday-proxy --init-config
andfaraday-proxy --callsign...
the local /etc/faraday files are edited instead of the main installation files. While not a bug that stops operation it could be annoying when you don't realize that running faraday from a different folder location might result in using different configuration files!@kb1lqd @reillyeon @el-iso
Problem Explanation
I would expect with a pip install in non-editable mode to see (Windows)
C:\Python27\etc\faraday
file change. The local etc/faraday files are really only for editable pip installs. The following steps need to be takenpip install faraday
configuration files for all applicationsEnvironment

Master Branch
