How to get Mu's user configuration from user program

[aroberge]

How can I get the user's selected locale (language) for Mu from a user program? Same for the mode selected?

The reason I am asking is that I would like to configure friendly/friendly-traceback so that it would automatically set both its mode and its default language (only English and French so far) to correspond to the user's preference.

I found the answer to my own question.

import json
import os
import appdirs

DATA_DIR = appdirs.user_data_dir(appname="mu", appauthor="python")
try:
    with open(os.path.join(DATA_DIR, "session.json")) as fp:
        settings = json.load(fp)
except FileNotFoundError:
    settings = {}
    
if 'theme' in settings:
    print(settings['theme'])
if 'locale' in settings:
    print(settings['locale'])
