+It's possible to set up context using a `.ipdb` file on your home folder or `setup.cfg`
+on your project folder. You can also set your file location via env var `$IPDB_CONFIG`.
+Your environment variable has priority over the home configuration file,
+which in turn has priority over the setup config file.

 The post-mortem function, ``ipdb.pm()``, is equivalent to the magic function
 ``%debug``.
