PyOpenSci REVIEW: pynteny.download and config default paths

[Robaina]

Addressing reviewer comments:

CLI

• The defaults paths are quite inconvenient if I run the cli from the installed package rather than the source directory, the config file as well as the downloaded database ends up in /home/<user>/miniconda3/envs/Pynteny/lib/python3.10/site-packages/

Right, that's inconvenient. What about adding the option to choose the directory where to download the database / write the config file? I think this may fix the issue.

pynteny/subcommands.py

• wget is quite old and does not seem to be active. How about replacing it with a more maintained alternative? e.g. httpx, requests

Will try with requests.

• As I said in the general comments, I would prefer if the default dirs were not relative to the package files. When installing pynteny inside a virtual env, this means that the database could be downloaded inside the venv, in a totally different place from the current working dir. I suggest using ~/.pynteny

pynteny/utils.py

• As I said in the comments above, using the file location is quite inconvenient because when installed by conda it ends up in the venv directory
• Is there a reason for not using https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html?highlight=tar#tarfile.is_tarfile?
