Thanks for pointing that. However, I have to disagree with the PEP here: config files are not data files. Considering the FHS or the XDG Base Directory specifications, there is a precedent in distinguishing user config (edited by the user through a text editor or settings graphical window), program data (state) and cache (files for speedups that can safely be deleted).
