 def load_config(path=None, defaults=None):
 """ Loads and parses an INI style configuration file using Python's built-in ConfigParser module. If path is specified, load it. If ``defaults`` (a list of strings) is given, try to load each entry as a file, without throwing any error if the operation fails. If ``defaults`` is not given, the following locations listed in the DEFAULT_FILES constant are tried. To completely disable defaults loading, pass in an empty list or ``False``. Returns the SafeConfigParser instance used to load and parse the files. """
