Oh I did not know that. I'm happy that a new file is not need for the
system wide setting.

This is the problem that I was thinking about when I proposed using
a py.ini like solution where the file is looked for in the users config folder.
I think that is the %LOCALAPPDATA% folder for py.exe.
As Chris points out in his summary of the issue.
How would this work for different version of python being installed and needing
different config?
How would this work for python installed from different vendors?
Maybe the answer is that there is only one user defined override possible and
all versions use it.
Also am I right to assume that the impact of these changes would only impact on
Windows?
