"""Classes to handle advanced configuration in simple to complex applications.

Allows to load the configuration from a file or from command line
options, to generate a sample configuration file or to display
program's usage. Fills the gap between optik/optparse and ConfigParser
by adding data types (which are also available as a standalone optik
extension in the `optik_ext` module).


Quick start: simplest usage
---------------------------

.. python ::

  >>> import sys
  >>> from logilab.common.configuration import Configuration
  >>> options = [('dothis', {'type':'yn', 'default': True, 'metavar': '<y or n>'}),
  ...            ('value', {'type': 'string', 'metavar': '<string>'}),
  ...            ('multiple', {'type': 'csv', 'default': ('yop',),
  ...                          'metavar': '<comma separated values>',
  ...                          'help': 'you can also document the option'}),
  ...            ('number', {'type': 'int', 'default':2, 'metavar':'<int>'}),
  ...           ]
  >>> config = Configuration(options=options, name='My config')
  >>> print config['dothis']
  True
  >>> print config['value']
  None
  >>> print config['multiple']
  ('yop',)
  >>> print config['number']
  2
  >>> print config.help()
  Usage:  [options]
  
  Options:
    -h, --help            show this help message and exit
    --dothis=<y or n>     
    --value=<string>      
    --multiple=<comma separated values>
                          you can also document the option [current: none]
    --number=<int>        
  
  >>> f = open('myconfig.ini', 'w')
  >>> f.write('''[MY CONFIG]
  ... number = 3
  ... dothis = no
  ... multiple = 1,2,3
  ... ''')
  >>> f.close()
  >>> config.load_file_configuration('myconfig.ini')
  >>> print config['dothis']
  False
  >>> print config['value']
  None
  >>> print config['multiple']
  ['1', '2', '3']
  >>> print config['number']
  3
  >>> sys.argv = ['mon prog', '--value', 'bacon', '--multiple', '4,5,6',
  ...             'nonoptionargument']
  >>> print config.load_command_line_configuration()
  ['nonoptionargument']
  >>> print config['value']
  bacon
  >>> config.generate_config()
  # class for simple configurations which don't need the
  # manager / providers model and prefer delegation to inheritance
  # 
  # configuration values are accessible through a dict like interface
  # 
  [MY CONFIG]
  
  dothis=no
  
  value=bacon
  
  # you can also document the option
  multiple=4,5,6
  
  number=3
