Hi,

I'm not sure if this is related to argh; a use case would be helpful.

Probably something like this would do:

@command
def foo(bar=None):
config = yaml.load('conf.yaml')
print(bar or config['bar'])

Of course if the app has multiple commands and each tends to load the
config, it would be a good idea to group them as class methods and
initialize the class instance with path to config, etc.

Anyway, I think configuration is out of scope of the argument parsing library.

Me too, somewhat, I go futher in my current project and see how it goes.

Anyway some programs already use both cli arguments and config files http://gunicorn.org/configure.html#contents
