Taxonome can be configured with an INI style configuration file, located at ~/.taxonome/taxonome.cfg, which you can change with a text editor. The default options are:
[main]
# Threshold for matching differently spelled species names, between 0
# (anything matches) and 1 (exact matches only).
name-fuzzy-threshold = 0.85
# Threshold for matching species authorities.
author-fuzzy-threshold = 0.6
# Load the TDWG regions when Taxonome is loaded?
load-tdwg-regions = True
# HTTP user agent for making API calls.
user-agent = Taxonome (in testing)
[cache]
location = ~/.taxonome
expiry-days = 30
# Clean old entries from caches when Taxonome is loaded? (Currently unused)
clean-on-load = True
# This is the location to store choices made by the user when selecting
# ambiguous names.
user-choices = %(location)s/user_choices
[api-keys]
# Programmatic users have to request their own API key
