6 Distutils Configuration Files
As mentioned above, you can use Distutils configuration files to record
personal or site preferences for any Distutils options. That is, any
option to any command can be stored in one of two or three (depending on
your platform) configuration files, which will be consulted before the
command-line is parsed. This means that configuration files will
override default values, and the command-line will in turn override
configuration files. Furthermore, if multiple configuration files
apply, values from ``earlier'' files are overridden by ``later'' files.
