compass.config.CompassConfigParser

class compass.config.CompassConfigParser

A “meta” config parser that keeps a dictionary of config parsers and their sources to combine when needed. The custom config parser allows provenance of the source of different config options and allows the “user” config options to always take precedence over other config options (even if they are added later).

This version simply overrides the combine() method to also ensure that certain paths are absolute, rather than relative.
