[Zope-dev] When is the configuration read in Zope 2.7?

[Erik A.Dahl]

Ok,

I think I have a fix for this but we have a little semantics issue.  I 
thought that once the Zope config was set it could not be changed.  In 
the new ZOPE_CONFIG patch the environ variable only gets used as a last 
resort in Zope.app() if no other configuration has been set.  To do 
this I added a isConfigured() function to App.config to check its 
_config global.  I'm assuming that this is the "official" Zope config, 
correct?

Now there is a test testZopeRunConfigure in 
lib/python/Zope/Startup/tests/testStarter.py that runs 
App.config.getConfiguration() and then makes a test config file and 
sets it.  The result is a test where the config is reset within one 
run.  This test fails with the semantics described above.  Which is 
correct?  I'm enclosing the patch for reference.
