:arg p: A ConfigParser object to look for the configuration in
:arg section: A section of the ini config that should be examined for this section.
:arg key: The config key to get this config from
:arg env_var: An Environment variable to check for the config var. If
this is set to None then no environment variable will be used.
:arg default: A default value to assign to the config var if nothing else sets it.
:kwarg value_type: The type of the value. This can be any of the following strings:
:boolean: sets the value to a True or False value
:integer: Sets the value to an integer or raises a ValueType error
:float: Sets the value to a float or raises a ValueType error
:list: Treats the value as a comma separated list. Split the value
and return it as a python list.
:none: Sets the value to None
:path: Expands any environment variables and tilde's in the value.
:tmp_path: Create a unique temporary directory inside of the dirctory
specified by value and return its path.
:pathlist: Treat the value as a typical PATH string. (On POSIX, this
means colon separated strings.) Split the value and then expand
each part for environment variables and tildes.
:kwarg expand_relative_paths: for pathlist and path types, if this is set
to True then also change any relative paths into absolute paths. The
default is False.
