<p class="last">this section discusses the <strong>internal API of Alembic</strong> as
regards internal configuration constructs.
This section is only useful for developers who wish to extend the
capabilities of Alembic.  For documentation on configuration of
an Alembic environment, please see <a class="reference internal" href="../tutorial.html"><span class="doc">Tutorial</span></a>.</p>
</div>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#alembic.config.Config" title="alembic.config.Config"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Config</span></code></a> object represents the configuration
passed to the Alembic environment.  From an API usage perspective,
it is needed for the following use cases:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>to create a <a class="reference internal" href="script.html#alembic.script.ScriptDirectory" title="alembic.script.ScriptDirectory"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">ScriptDirectory</span></code></a>, which allows you to work

actually run the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">env.py</span></code> module within the migration environment</li>
<li>to programatically run any of the commands in the <a class="reference internal" href="commands.html#alembic-command-toplevel"><span class="std std-ref">Commands</span></a>
module.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#alembic.config.Config" title="alembic.config.Config"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Config</span></code></a> is <em>not</em> needed for these cases:</p>
<ul class="simple">

<p>When invoking Alembic programatically, a new
<a class="reference internal" href="#alembic.config.Config" title="alembic.config.Config"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Config</span></code></a> can be created by passing

<p>With a <a class="reference internal" href="#alembic.config.Config" title="alembic.config.Config"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Config</span></code></a> object, you can then
