Please add support for using pepperrc when using pepper as a library

[alexntt]

Right now I'm doing something like:

from pepper import cli
import pepper

pepper_cli = cli.PepperCli()
client = pepper.Pepper(pepper_cli.parse_url())
pepper_cli.login(client)

so my apps using Pepper benefit from pepperrc, but this feels a bit hackish and unsupported.

It would be nice to be able to do:

import pepper
client = pepper.Pepper()

and have it automatically read pepperrc, for instance.

this seems reasonable, marked as a feature request.

Any idea on when this will happen, or what it would take to make this happen?

You would have to go to the salt community slack and ask there, sorry.

I no longer work for saltstack, as of Nov 2018. and it doesnt look like @mattp- has worked on this since 2020 (and he also doesnt work for salt).

I am also not actively able to spend time on this project; as daniel said above saltstack slack would be your best bet.
