Configuration handling basics
===============================
Tiramisu is designed with three main objects :
Tiramisu is made of almost three main objects :
- :class:`tiramisu.config.Config` witch is the whole configuration entry point
- :class:`tiramisu.option.Option` stands for the option type
- :class:`tiramisu.option.OptionDescription` stands for the description (the schema)
- :class:`tiramisu.option.Option` stands for the option types
- :class:`tiramisu.option.OptionDescription` is the shema, the option's structure

Config updates
---------------
New configuration options and groups can be dynamically added.
The configuration has to be *updated* after that the description has been
passed to the Config objet, see:
::
>>> config = Config(descr)
>>> newoption = BoolOption('newoption', 'dummy twoo', default=False)
>>> descr.add_child(newoption)
>>> config.update()
>>> config.newoption

Validation upon a whole configuration object
----------------------------------------------
@ -77,10 +54,21 @@ This type of validation is very open. Let's take a use case : an option
has a certain value, and the value of this option can change the owner
of another option or option group... Everything is possible.
For example, the configuration paths have to be unique in the
`glossary#schema`, the validation is carried out at the
`config.Config._cfgimpl_build()` time in the
`config.Config._validate_duplicates()` method.
.. currentmodule:: tiramisu.option
Other hooks are availables to validate upon a whole configuration at any time,
for example the consistency between two options (typically, an
:class:`IPOption` and a :class:`NetworkOption`).
Values that are calculated
--------------------------------
An option that have a callback is considered to have a value that is to be
calculated.
An option's property with a `force_store_value` attribute is considered to be
modified at the first calculation.

Errors that may be encountered
==================================
Three builtins exceptions are used :

- **ValueError** : Validation error, parameters error, a list instead
of a Multi, or if the value does not make sense
- **TypeError** : type error in a parameter
- **AttributeError** : wrong path or unknownd option or optiondescription

The `properties` attribute is in charge of the access rules' option's value.
Configuration options access statuses are defined at configuration level
that corresponds to the `option.Option()`'s `properties` attribute,
for example
for example: hidden, disabled.
**hidden**
Use the pythonic way to know if a property is there::
This means that an option raises an error if we try to access
the value of the option.
'hidden' in c.cfgimpl_get_settings()
'frozen' in c.cfgimpl_get_settings()[opt]
See `hide()` or `show()` in `Option()` that comes from
`option.HiddenBaseType`
To access to the global settings::
corresponding convenience API provided:
cfg.cfgimpl_get_settings()
cfg.cfgimpl_get_settings()[option1]
`hide()`:
set the `hidden` attribute to `True`
to add, or suppress a global property::
`show()`:
set the `hidden` attribute to `False`
cfg.cfgimpl_get_settings()[option1].append('hidden')
cfg.cfgimpl_get_settings()[option1].remove('hidden')
**disabled**
to activate, deactivate properties::
This means that an option *doesn't exists* (doesn't say anything
much more thant an `AttibuteAccess` error)
See in `option.DisabledBaseType` the origins of
`Option.enable()` or `Option.disable()`
corresponding convenience API provided:
`disable()`:
set the `disabled` attribute to `True`
`enable()`:
set the `disabled` attribute to `False`
cfg.cfgimpl_get_settings().append('hidden')
cfg.cfgimpl_get_settings().remove('hidden')
Value owners
-------------
.. method:: tiramisu.config.Config.getowner()
This method can retrieve an Option's owner.
Every configuration option has a **owner**. When the option is
instanciated, the owner is `default` because a default value has been
set (including `None`, take a look at the tests).
The `value_owner` is the man who did it. Yes, the man who changed the value of the
configuration option.
- At the instance of the `Config` object, the value owner is `default` because
- At the instance of the `Config` object, the value owner is `owners.default` because
the default values are set at the instance of the configuration option object,
::
# let's expect there is an option named 'name'
config = Config(descr, bool=False)
# the override method has been called
config._cfgimpl_value_owners['name'] == 'default'
- at the modification of an option, the owner is `default_owner`, (which is `user`)
::
# modification of the value by attribute access
config.gc.dummy = True
assert config.gc._cfgimpl_value_owners['dummy'] == 'user'
assert config._cfgimpl_values['gc']._cfgimpl_value_owners['dummy'] == 'user'
- the default owner can be set with the `set_owner()` method
::
config.set_owner('spam')
config.set(dummy=True)
assert config.gc._cfgimpl_value_owners['dummy'] == 'spam'
assert config._cfgimpl_values['gc']._cfgimpl_value_owners['dummy'] == 'spam'
- at the modification of an option, the owner is `owners.default`, (which is `user`)
