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``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `OptionDescription` class
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This class is used to group suboptions.
|
|
|
|
.. module:: tiramisu.option
|
|
|
|
.. autoclass: OptionDescription
|
|
|
|
.. automethod:: __init__
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: Methods
|
|
|
|
.. autosummary::
|
|
|
|
~Config.__init__
|
|
~Config.set_group_type
|
|
|
|
.. automethod:: set_group_type
|
|
|
|
..
|
|
|
|
|
|
``__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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|

|
|

:special-members:
|
