Description

openeo python client already supports using a config file for authentication related settings, but there is more opportunity for config file based configuration. E.g.

While the auth config file is very user specific, these general configs are not privacy/security sensitive.
So we could support a layered approach with a system wide config (e.g. /etc/openeo.conf), a user specific config (e.g. /home/john/.openeo.conf), a project specific config (e.g. path/to/myproject/openeo.conf), env variables, ...

If possible, we could even have a common config approach with the R and JS client.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Python client's existing authentication config support and the related issues #187 and #260. Define the scope and precedence for system, user, project, and environment configuration, including timeouts, retries, and temporary folders; done requires an agreed design for any shared approach with the R and JavaScript clients.
