Distribution subclasses that avoids the default search for configuration files.

The ._config_files attribute must be set before .parse_config_files() is called.

find_config_files(self)

Find as many configuration files as should be processed for this platform, and return a list of filenames in the order in which they should be parsed. The filenames returned are guaranteed to exist (modulo nasty race conditions).

There are three possible config files: distutils.cfg in the Distutils installation directory (ie. where the top-level Distutils __inst__.py file lives), a file in the user's home directory named .pydistutils.cfg on Unix and pydistutils.cfg on Windows/Mac, and setup.cfg in the current directory.

Overrides: dist.Distribution.find_config_files: (inherited documentation)
