makeConfigClass()

def pex.config.wrap.makeConfigClass	(		ctrl,
			name = None,
			base = Config,
			doc = None,
			module = None,
			cls = None
	)

Create a `~lsst.pex.config.Config` class that matches a  C++ control
object class.

See the `wrap` decorator as a convenient interface to ``makeConfigClass``.

Parameters
----------
ctrl : class
    C++ control class to wrap.
name : `str`, optional
    Name of the new config class; defaults to the ``__name__`` of the
    control class with ``'Control'`` replaced with ``'Config'``.
base : `lsst.pex.config.Config`-type, optional
    Base class for the config class.
doc : `str`, optional
    Docstring for the config class.
module : object, `str`, `int`, or `None` optional
    Either a module object, a string specifying the name of the module, or
    an integer specifying how far back in the stack to look for the module
    to use: 0 is the immediate caller of `~lsst.pex.config.wrap`. This will
    be used to set ``__module__`` for the new config class, and the class
    will also be added to the module. Ignored if `None` or if ``cls`` is
    not `None`. Defaults to None in which case module is looked up from the
    module of ctrl.
cls : class
    An existing config class to use instead of creating a new one; name,
    base doc, and module will be ignored if this is not `None`.

Notes
-----
To use ``makeConfigClass``, write a control object in C++ using the
``LSST_CONTROL_FIELD`` macro in ``lsst/pex/config.h`` (note that it must
have sensible default constructor):

.. code-block:: cpp

   // myHeader.h

   struct InnerControl {
       LSST_CONTROL_FIELD(wim, std::string,
                          "documentation for field 'wim'");
   };

   struct FooControl {
       LSST_CONTROL_FIELD(bar, int, "documentation for field 'bar'");
       LSST_CONTROL_FIELD(baz, double, "documentation for field 'baz'");
       LSST_NESTED_CONTROL_FIELD(zot, myWrappedLib, InnerControl,
                                 "documentation for field 'zot'");

       FooControl() : bar(0), baz(0.0) {}
   };

You can use ``LSST_NESTED_CONTROL_FIELD`` to nest control objects. Wrap
those control objects as you would any other C++ class, but make sure you
include ``lsst/pex/config.h`` before including the header file where
the control object class is defined.

Next, in Python:

.. code-block:: py

   import lsst.pex.config
   import myWrappedLib

   InnerConfig = lsst.pex.config.makeConfigClass(myWrappedLib.InnerControl)
   FooConfig = lsst.pex.config.makeConfigClass(myWrappedLib.FooControl)

This does the following things:

- Adds ``bar``, ``baz``, and ``zot`` fields to ``FooConfig``.
- Set ``FooConfig.Control`` to ``FooControl``.
- Adds ``makeControl`` and ``readControl`` methods to create a
  ``FooControl`` and set the ``FooConfig`` from the ``FooControl``,
  respectively.
- If ``FooControl`` has a ``validate()`` member function,
  a custom ``validate()`` method will be added to ``FooConfig`` that uses
  it.

All of the above are done for ``InnerConfig`` as well.

Any field that would be injected that would clash with an existing
attribute of the class is be silently ignored. This allows you to
customize fields and inherit them from wrapped control classes. However,
these names are still be processed when converting between config and
control classes, so they should generally be present as base class fields
or other instance attributes or descriptors.

While ``LSST_CONTROL_FIELD`` will work for any C++ type, automatic
`~lsst.pex.config.Config` generation only supports ``bool``, ``int``,
``std::int64_t``, ``double``, and ``std::string`` fields, along with
``std::list`` and ``std::vectors`` of those types.

wrap()

def pex.config.wrap.wrap

(

ctrl

)

Decorator that adds fields from a C++ control class to a
`lsst.pex.config.Config` class.

Parameters
----------
ctrl : object
    The C++ control class.

Notes
-----
See `makeConfigClass` for more information. This `wrap` decorator is
equivalent to calling `makeConfigClass` with the decorated class as the
``cls`` argument.

Examples
--------
Use `wrap` like this::

    @wrap(MyControlClass)
    class MyConfigClass(Config):
        pass
