Under the hood all command-line scripts such as ``pserve`` and ``pshell`` pass the ``config_uri`` (e.g. ``development.ini`` or ``production.ini``) to the :term:`plaster` library which performs a lookup for an appropriate parser. For ``.ini`` files it uses PasteDeploy but you can register your own configuration formats that plaster will find instead. |
