.. default-role:: literal The 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 :special-members: :members: 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 `impl_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._impl_descr.name of sub configs with :: conf.gc._impl_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._impl_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). .. _optioninit: .. autoclass:: Option :special-members: :members: All option types ------------------ .. autoclass:: BoolOption :private-members: .. autoclass:: IntOption :private-members: .. autoclass:: FloatOption :private-members: .. autoclass:: StrOption :private-members: .. autoclass:: SymLinkOption .. automethod:: __init__ ``SymLinkOption`` redirects to another configuration option in the configuration, that is : - retrieves the value of the target, - can set the value of the target too .. autoclass:: IPOption .. autoclass:: NetmaskOption .. autoclass:: NetworkOption .. autoclass:: DomainnameOption .. autoclass:: ChoiceOption .. automethod:: __init__
