Configuration handling basics
===============================
Main Assumption
===============
Configuration option objects `config.Config()` are produced at the
entry points and handed down to where they are actually used. This keeps
configuration local but available everywhere and consistent.
`Config` and `Option` objects
=========================================
Configuration option objects can be created in different ways. Let's perform
very basic :class:`tiramisu.config.Config` object manipulations:
::
>>> from tiramisu.config import Config
>>> from tiramisu.option import OptionDescription, BoolOption
>>> descr = OptionDescription("optgroup", "", [
... BoolOption("bool", "", default=False)])
>>>
>>> config = Config(descr)
>>> config.bool
False
>>> config.bool = True
>>> config.bool
True
Take a look at `test_config.test_base_config()` or
`test_config.test_base_config_and_groups()`.
Accessing the configuration `Option`'s

::
cfg.set(name=value)
The global `setoption()` method of the config objects can set a value with a specific owner
::
cfg.setoption('name', value, 'owner')
Finally, the local `setoption()` method directly in the `Option` object can be
used. While the `Option` object refers to his parent, the config knows that the
value has been changed and no bad side effect won't occur
::
>>> booloption = BoolOption('bool', 'Test boolean option', default=True)
>>> descr = OptionDescription('descr', '', [booloption])
>>> cfg = Config(descr)
>>> booloption.setoption(cfg, False, 'owner')

Understanding Tiramisu's architecture
--------------------------------------
Getting started
-------------------
The `schema` is loaded from an XML file, and the values of
the configuration options are recovered from a `.ini` like file.
Configuration option objects can be created in different ways. Let's perform
very basic :class:`tiramisu.config.Config` object manipulations:
By now, all the in-depth informations about the configuration are stored
in a **single** object, the `config.Config()` object, wich is
responsible of nearly everything. All the necessary options are stored
into a configuration object, which is available nearly everywhere, so
that adding new options becomes trivial.
::
This `Config()` is available from everywhere with the help of an http server
that serves configuration datas as `json` strings.
>>> from tiramisu.config import Config
>>> from tiramisu.option import OptionDescription, BoolOption
>>> descr = OptionDescription("optgroup", "", [
... BoolOption("bool", "", default=False)])
>>>
>>> config = Config(descr)
>>> # now we have a config, wich contains an option:
>>> config.bool
False
>>> config.bool = True
>>> config.bool
True
.. figure:: architecture.png
The basics of Tiramisu's architecture.
Once loaded, http server serves the `config.Config()` object, that is,
the configuration options and the configuration groups.
So by now, we have
- a namespace (which is `config` here)
- the access of an option's value by the
attribute access way (here `bool`, wich is a boolean option:
:class:`tiramisu.option.BoolOption()`.
Configuration option objects :class:`tiramisu.config.Config()` are produced at
the entry points and handed down to where they are actually used. This keeps
configuration local but available everywhere and consistent.

.. default-role:: literal
The `tiramisu.option.Option` options
======================================
Description of Options
----------------------
All the constructors take a ``name`` and a ``doc`` argument as first
arguments to give the option or option group a name and to document it.
Most constructors take a ``default`` argument that specifies the default
value of the option. If this argument is not supplied the default value
is assumed to be ``None``.
.. _optdescr:
The `OptionDescription` class
-------------------------------
.. module:: tiramisu.option
.. autoclass: OptionDescription
.. automethod:: __init__
.. rubric:: Methods
.. autosummary::
~Config.__init__
~Config.set_group_type
.. automethod:: set_group_type
`Options description` objects lives in the :class:`tiramisu.config.Config` attribute.
If you need to access an option object, you can do it with the OptionDescription
object. Not only the value of the option by attribute access, but the option
object itself that lives behind the scene. It can always be accessed internally
with the `_cfgimpl_descr` attribute of the `config` objects. For example, with a
option named `name` in a `gc` group the `name` object can be accessed like
this::
conf._cfgimpl_descr.name
of sub configs with ::
conf.gc._cfgimpl_descr.name
This is a binding. The option objects are in the `_children` config's attribute.
Why accessing an option object ? It is possible for example freeze the
configuration option
::
conf.gc._cfgimpl_descr.dummy.freeze()
or to hide it, or disable it, or... anything.
The `Option` base class
-------------------------
It's the abstract base class for almost all options (except the symblink).

- can set the value of the target too

This class is used to group suboptions.

..
``__init__(self, name, doc, children)``
``children`` is a list of option descriptions (including
``OptionDescription`` instances for nested namespaces).
``set_group_type(self, group_name)``
Three available group_types : `default`, `family`, `group` and
`master` (for master~slave group type). Notice that for a
master~slave group, the name of the group and the name of the
master option are identical.
`Options description` objects lives in the `_cfgimpl_descr` config attribute.
If you need to access an option object, you can do it with the OptionDescription
object. Not only the value of the option by attribute access, but the option
object itself that lives behind the scene. It can always be accessed internally
with the `_cfgimpl_descr` attribute of the `config` objects. For example, with a
option named `name` in a `gc` group the `name` object can be accessed like
this::
conf._cfgimpl_descr.name
of sub configs with ::
conf.gc._cfgimpl_descr.name
This is a binding. The option objects are in the `_children` config's attribute.

configuration option

It's an abstract base class for option wich are typed (int, string...)

:special-members:
:members:
generic option ``__init__`` method:
``__init__(name, doc, default=None, requires=None, multi=False, mandatory=False)``
``BoolOption``
++++++++++++++
Represents a choice between ``True`` and ``False``.
``IntOption``
+++++++++++++
Represents a choice of an integer.
``FloatOption``
+++++++++++++++
Represents a choice of a floating point number.
``StrOption``
+++++++++++++
Represents the choice of a string.
``SymLinkOption``
++++++++++++++++++
Redirects to another configuration option in the configuration, that is :
- retrieves the value of the tagert,
- can set the value of the target too.
``__init__(self, name, path)``
`path` is the path to the target, the option
``IPOption``
+++++++++++++
Represents the choice of an ip.
``NetmaskOption``
+++++++++++++++++++
Represents the choice of a netmask.
``ChoiceOption``
++++++++++++++++
Represents a choice out of several objects. The option can also have the value
``None``.
``__init__(self, name, doc, values, default=None, requires=None)``
``values`` is a list of values the option can possibly take.
