lino.utils.config¶

This defines the ConfigDirCache which Lino instantiates and installs as SITE.confdirs.

It creates a list config_dirs of all configuration directories by looping through lino.core.site.Site.installed_plugins and taking those whose source directory has a config subdir.

The mechanism in this module emulates the behaviour of Django’s and Jinja’s template loaders.

We cannot use the Jinja loader because Jinja’s get_template method returns a Template, and Jinja templates don’t know their filename. One possibility might be to write a special Jinja Template class…
