Configuration file
==================
Pretix reads its configuration from a configuration file. It tries to find this file
at the following locations. It will try to read the file from the specified paths in
the following order. The file that is found *last* will override the settings from
the files found before.
1. ``/etc/pretix/pretix.cfg``
2. ``~/.pretix.cfg``
3. ``pretix.cfg`` in the current working directory
The file is expected to be in the INI format as specified in the `Python documentation`_.
The config file may contain the following sections (all settings are optional and have default values).
