Environment

EZDXF_DISABLE_C_EXT

Set environment variable EZDXF_DISABLE_C_EXT to 1 or True to disable the usage of the C-extensions.

EZDXF_TEST_FILES

Path to the ezdxf test files required by some tests, for instance the CADKit sample files should be located in the EZDXF_TEST_FILES/CADKitSamples folder. See also option ezdxf.options.test_files.

EZDXF_CONFIG_FILE

Specifies a user config file which will be loaded automatically after the default config files at the first import of ezdxf. See the Files section.

XDG_CONFIG_HOME

When searching for a default config file in the user home directory, ezdxf(1) follows the XDG Base Directory specification if the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set. See the Files section.

Files

The default config files are loaded from the user home directory as ~/.config/ezdxf/ezdxf.ini, and the current working directory as ./ezdxf.ini. A custom config file can be specified by the environment variable EZDXF_CONFIG_FILE. ezdxf(1) follows the XDG Base Directory specification if the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set.

The config file loading order:

  1. user home directory: ~/.config/ezdxf/ezdxf.ini
  2. current working directory: ./ezdxf.ini
  3. config file specified by EZDXF_CONFIG_FILE

A configuration file that is loaded later does not replace the previously loaded ones, only the existing options in the newly loaded file are added to the configuration and can overwrite existing options.
