Configuration data
The config subdirectory of Glottolog data contains machine readable metadata like the list
of macroareas. This information can be accessed via an instance of
pyglottolog.Glottolog, too, using the stem of the filename as attribute name:
>>> for ma in Glottolog().macroareas.values():
... print(ma.name)
...
South America
Eurasia
Africa
Papunesia
North America
Australia
Below are the details of the API to access configuration data.

More convenient access to objects stored as sections in INI files
This class makes objects (i.e. INI sections) accessible as values of a dict, keyed by an id attribute, which is infered from the id or name option of the section and, additonally, under as attribute named after id.
