When calling ConfigParser.read you are allowed to pass a list of strings corresponding to potential locations for configuration files and the function returns a list of those files that were successfully read.
What is the default behaviour when multiple configuration files are loaded that have overlapping sections/keys? Do later files in the list override values parsed by earlier ones? Is the entire section overridden or just conflicting keys?

Read and parse one configuration file, given as a file object. Read configuration from a given string. Read configuration from a dictionary. Keys are section names, values are dictionaries with keys and values that should be present in the section.
ConfigParser is a Python class which implements a basic configuration language for Python programs. It provides a structure similar to Microsoft Windows INI files. ConfigParser allows to write Python programs which can be customized by end users easily.
Python can have config files with all settings needed by the application dynamically or periodically. Python config files have the extension as . ini. We'll use VS Code (Visual Studio Code) to create a main method that uses config file to read the configurations and then print on the console.
configparser comes from Python 3 and as such it works well with Unicode.
After getting around to testing it, ConfigParser overwrites the keys with each successive file, the order in which the files are read is determined by the order of the file names in the list passed to ConfigParser.read
