After install from GitHub master, error running torf: TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

I've just installed torf on Xubuntu 18.04 with Python 3.65:

paulo:~/src$ pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/rndusr/torf-cli.git

and if I run torf with any option/arg, I always get the same error, for instance, running torf -h:

paulo:~/src$ torf -h

I came by the solution: ~/.config/torf has to be created before running torf.

[rndusr]

That's not a solution. The config file is optional and any raised exception is a bug.

[rndusr]

Now a missing config file shouldn't be an issue anymore.

[marcelpaulo]

You're damn right: solution was wrong, it was mere working around a bug. I've pulled your latest commits, removed the config directory, and torf works without it.
