Traits

Typed variables with validation and automatic GUI generation:

from enthought.traits.api import HasTraits, Int, Float

class C(HasTraits):
    n = Int(10)
    x = Float(5.5)

a = C()

a.edit_traits()

ConfigObj

.ini / .conf style file read/write tool with nested sections and comment preservation:

# Top-level of the configuration
m = 1

# A section
[Protocol]
    ptype = 'http'

    # A subsection
    [[Handler]]
        key = 'foo'

TConfig = Traits + ConfigObj

• Changes to the Traited instance propagate back into the ConfigObj.
• A purely declarative interface for describing configurations.
• Auto-generation of valid .conf files.
• Hierarchical inclusion of files.
• Automatic GUI editing of configuration objects.
