mne.get_config¶

mne.get_config(key=None, default=None, raise_error=False, home_dir=None, use_env=True)[source]¶

Read MNE-Python preferences from environment or config file.

Parameters

keyNone | str: The preference key to look for. The os environment is searched first, then the mne-python config file is parsed. If None, all the config parameters present in environment variables or the path are returned. If key is an empty string, a list of all valid keys (but not values) is returned.
defaultstr | None: Value to return if the key is not found.
raise_errorbool: If True, raise an error if the key is not found (instead of returning default).
home_dirstr | None: The folder that contains the .mne config folder. If None, it is found automatically.
use_envbool: If True, consider env vars, if available. If False, only use MNE-Python configuration file values.

New in version 0.18.
