Use Python ConfigParser.readfp() to set wide configuration defaults
Currently, the default configuration values are set and managed locally. Python ConfigParser library has readfp() method to define a global default configuration file content. This is convenient to centralize all defaults values.
This issue concerns Slurm-web v2 which is not maintained anymore. You are highly encouraged to test the new version v3.0.0 that is not impacted by this issue. The quick start guide for v3.0.0 is available online: https://docs.rackslab.io/slurm-web/install/quickstart.html
Unless someone is motivated to maintain the old version of Slurm-web or you have a justified reason to keep this issue open, it will be closed in a few weeks.
For the reasons explained in the previous comment, I finally close this issue.
