 "ConfigMix" is a library for helping with configuration files.
 
+It reads configuration files in the following styles:
+
+- YAML files
+- INI files
+- executable Python files
+
+It then merges them together into a tree-ish configuration dictionary and
+presents them as such to the API user. Reading can be done with
+keyword expansion from other configuration values.
