Currently changing the configuration (mainly used for “hardware” tests) requires editing a YAML config file located inside the package. While this might be okay, when we clone the repository and use pip -e (editable source) to install the package it is certainly less from ideal:
We need to be aware where the package (config file) is stored on our machine
If we use pip without the -e option the config file might be stored inside an archive or another location that is hard to access
Description
Currently changing the configuration (mainly used for “hardware” tests) requires editing a YAML config file located inside the package. While this might be okay, when we clone the repository and use
pip -e
(editable source) to install the package it is certainly less from ideal:pip
without the-e
option the config file might be stored inside an archive or another location that is hard to accessFor that reason and as preparation for uploading the package to PyPI we should make it possible to store the configuration at a location that is easier to access.
