The old line:

    from path import path

produced pylint errors because of the baroque way that path.py defined
"path".  We tried to get them to change how they defined it, but they
deleted the name instead: https://github.com/jaraco/path.py/issues/102

(Jason then changed his mind, but this is a better way to use path.py,
it avoids the pylint error at least.)

This makes these files importable, and puts them into the new best guess
as to where files should live.

This reads configuration directly from yaml
and imports it directly into settings
