Regarding python files that are deprecating some options. Are these files considered to impact the configuration of the system?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Bonjour fellow Montrealer!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As Thomas mentioned, I dont think there is a fixed standard for config files vs code.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That said, most configuration file that are used by Openstack services (nova, cinder, glance, neutron) are usually ending in .conf and have the following contents.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>[section_name_blocks]</div>
<div>key=value</div>
<div>#comments</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the file looks like that, it's usually a good indication that it's a configuration file and not code.</div>

I’m a Ph.D. student in software engineering at the ETS Montreal, <u></u>University<u></u> of Quebec working on the quality and configuration of web-based software systems.<br>
I’m particularly interested in analyzing configuration files from different OpenStack files. One of the main challenges I am currently facing is the proper identification of configuration files. I’m mostly confused between the python files used for production
and the python files used for configuration. I am kindly requesting your precious help with the following questions:</span></p>

<span style="margin:0px">1- How to distinguish between python files used for configuration and python files used for production? It will be very helpful if there are some configuration-based patterns (eg, textual patterns or expressions) that we can find in
python files to help us distinguish between source code and configuration files?</span></p>

<span style="margin:0px">2- Certain python files use the oslo_config to access and define configuration options. Could "all" these python files be considered as configuration files? For example, the following python file of the keystone project: keystone/keystone/conf/auth.py,
is it considered a source code or configuration file?</span></p>

<span style="margin:0px">3- Why are there different source code and configuration repositories for OpenStack projects (eg, nova and puppet-nova)? For instance, does the OpenStack-nova service have some configuration files in its repository and have the puppet-nova
as a separate configuration repository as well?</span></p>
