New submission from Terry J. Reedy: An important feature of IDLE is that it has default configuration values in idlelib/config-xyz.def files that can be overriden by user values in $HOME/.idlerc/config-xyz.cfg files. IDLE should run and tests should pass both without and with user overrides. IDLE's config module currently hard-codes the file names. However, configparser can read from files it opens from a filename (.read), iterables of strings (.read_file), strings (.read_string), and dictionaries (.read_dict). This issue is about exposing this flexibility to IDLE tests and being able to clear and reset the user values for each test.
