Detailed Description

A configuration field (`~lsst.pex.config.Field` subclass) that allows a
user to select from a predefined set of values.

Use ``ChoiceField`` when a configuration can only take one of a predefined
set of values. Each choice must be of the same type.

Parameters
----------
doc : `str`
    Documentation string that describes the configuration field.
dtype : class
    The type of the field's choices. For example, `str` or `int`.
allowed : `dict`
    The allowed values. Keys are the allowed choices (of ``dtype``-type).
    Values are descriptions (`str`-type) of each choice.
default : ``dtype``-type, optional
    The default value, which is of type ``dtype`` and one of the allowed
    choices.
optional : `bool`, optional
    If `True`, this configuration field is *optional*. Default is `True`.
deprecated : None or `str`, optional
    A description of why this Field is deprecated, including removal date.
    If not None, the string is appended to the docstring for this Field.

__delete__()

def pex.config.config.Field.__delete__ (   self,   instance,   at = None,   label = 'deletion'  )

inherited

Delete an attribute from a `lsst.pex.config.Config` instance.

Parameters
----------
instance : `lsst.pex.config.Config`
    The config instance that contains this field.
at : `list` of `lsst.pex.config.callStack.StackFrame`
    The call stack (created by
    `lsst.pex.config.callStack.getCallStack`).
label : `str`, optional
    Event label for the history.

Notes
-----
This is invoked by the owning `~lsst.pex.config.Config` object and
should not be called directly.

__get__()

def pex.config.config.Field.__get__ (   self,   instance,   owner = None,   at = None,   label = "default"  )

inherited

Define how attribute access should occur on the Config instance
This is invoked by the owning config object and should not be called
directly

When the field attribute is accessed on a Config class object, it
returns the field object itself in order to allow inspection of
Config classes.

When the field attribute is access on a config instance, the actual
value described by the field (and held by the Config instance) is
returned.

__set__()

def pex.config.config.Field.__set__ (   self,   instance,   value,   at = None,   label = 'assignment'  )

inherited

Set an attribute on the config instance.

Parameters
----------
instance : `lsst.pex.config.Config`
    The config instance that contains this field.
value : obj
    Value to set on this field.
at : `list` of `lsst.pex.config.callStack.StackFrame`
    The call stack (created by
    `lsst.pex.config.callStack.getCallStack`).
label : `str`, optional
    Event label for the history.

Notes
-----
This method is invoked by the owning `lsst.pex.config.Config` object
and should not be called directly.

Derived `~lsst.pex.config.Field` classes may need to override the
behavior. When overriding ``__set__``, `~lsst.pex.config.Field` authors
should follow the following rules:

- Do not allow modification of frozen configs.
- Validate the new value **before** modifying the field. Except if the
  new value is `None`. `None` is special and no attempt should be made
  to validate it until `lsst.pex.config.Config.validate` is called.
- Do not modify the `~lsst.pex.config.Config` instance to contain
  invalid values.
- If the field is modified, update the history of the
  `lsst.pex.config.field.Field` to reflect the changes.

In order to decrease the need to implement this method in derived
`~lsst.pex.config.Field` types, value validation is performed in the
`lsst.pex.config.Field._validateValue`. If only the validation step
differs in the derived `~lsst.pex.config.Field`, it is simpler to
implement `lsst.pex.config.Field._validateValue` than to reimplement
``__set__``. More complicated behavior, however, may require
reimplementation.

toDict()

def pex.config.config.Field.toDict (   self,   instance  )

inherited

Parameters
----------
instance : `Config`
    The `Config` that contains this field.

Returns
-------
value : object
    The field's value. See *Notes*.

Notes
-----
This method invoked by the owning `~lsst.pex.config.Config` object and

Simple values are passed through. Complex data structures must be
manipulated. For example, a `~lsst.pex.config.Field` holding a
subconfig should, instead of the subconfig object, return a `dict`
where the keys are the field names in the subconfig, and the values are
the field values in the subconfig.

Raises
------
