Why config file not loaded by default from python API?

[evrial]

I actually found a bug in wiki documentation, correct path is config.add('file://~/.apprise')

But why point explicitly to config location?

# Create an AppriseConfig() object
config = AppriseConfig()

# Same as the above, except it's a good idea to get in the
# habit of locating local files with the file:// prefix.
config.add('file://~/.apprise')

I will investigate, i personally think ~/ without the file:// should work. So I'll treat this as a bug.

I agree, the fact is that config.add() supports http:// requests too. The intention is it no schema:// is defined, it should default to file:// which is where the bug is here.

In the future, maybe i can add ssh://, sftp://, ftp://, that sort of thing. That's the thought process here anyway as to why the things are the way they are. 🙂

In [3]: config.add('~/.apprise')

Sorry incorrectly articulated, not bug but mistake without forward slash. Makes sense. My thinking was apprise has ordered list of default config file paths, so this logic could be automated and reduced. Overall I'm very satisfied, thanks for your work!
