Research direction
Start by locating the tlo command entry point and the code that currently loads tlo.conf from the TLOmodel source directory. Evaluate the cross-platform Python libraries mentioned in the issue and choose one for the platform-specific user data locations. Done means tlo can run from outside the source directory and find its configuration in the user's data directory on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
tlo.conf holds the configuration for the tlo command-line tool (specifically settings related to connecting to and using Azure Batch services). We'd like to increase the usefulness and utility of the tlo tool (e.g. run from anywhere, set where the user wants to save their output files etc.).
Currenty, tlo.conf is assumed to live at the top of the TLOmodel source directory. The tlo command needs to be executed in that same directory. We want to setup the tlo.conf file in the user's data directory (i.e. ~/Library/Application Support/TLOmodel on MacOS; C:\Users\\AppData\Local\TLOmodel\TLOmodel on Windows; ~/.config/TLOmodel on Linux)
There are a few Python libraries that can handle this cross-platform. Need to evaluate them, and pick one to update tlo.
