ParamObj/ParamSet
=================

These two classes support you in the definition of a formal set of
parameters for an object type. The parameters may be safely queried/set on
an object instance at any time, and the object will react to newly-set
values immediately.

ParamSet & ParamObj also provide a mechanism for atomically setting
multiple parameter values before allowing the object to react to any of the
new values--useful when two or more parameters are interdependent and there
is risk of setting an illegal combination in the process of applying a new
set of values.

To make use of these classes, derive your object from ParamObj. Then define
a 'ParamSet' subclass that derives from the parent class' 'ParamSet' class,
and define the object's parameters within its ParamSet class. (see examples
below)

The ParamObj base class provides 'get' and 'set' functions for each
parameter if they are not defined. These default implementations
respectively set the parameter value directly on the object, and expect the
value to be available in that location for retrieval.

Classes that derive from ParamObj can optionally declare a 'get' and 'set'
function for each parameter. The setter should simply store the value in a
location where the getter can find it; it should not do any further
processing based on the new parameter value. Further processing should be
implemented in an 'apply' function. The applier function is optional, and
there is no default implementation.

NOTE: the previous value of a parameter is available inside an apply
function as 'self.getPriorValue()'

The ParamSet class declaration lists the parameters and defines a default
value for each. ParamSet instances represent a complete set of parameter
values. A ParamSet instance created with no constructor arguments will
contain the default values for each parameter. The defaults may be
overriden by passing keyword arguments to the ParamSet's constructor. If a
ParamObj instance is passed to the constructor, the ParamSet will extract
the object's current parameter values.

ParamSet.applyTo(obj) sets all of its parameter values on 'obj'.

SETTERS AND APPLIERS
====================
Under normal conditions, a call to a setter function, i.e.

 cam.setFov(90)

will actually result in the following calls being made:

 cam.setFov(90)
 cam.applyFov()

Calls to several setter functions, i.e.

 cam.setFov(90)
 cam.setViewType('cutscene')

will result in this call sequence:

 cam.setFov(90)
 cam.applyFov()
 cam.setViewType('cutscene')
 cam.applyViewType()

Suppose that you desire the view type to already be set to 'cutscene' at
the time when applyFov() is called. You could reverse the order of the set
calls, but suppose that you also want the fov to be set properly at the
time when applyViewType() is called.

In this case, you can 'lock' the params, i.e.

 cam.lockParams()
 cam.setFov(90)
 cam.setViewType('cutscene')
 cam.unlockParams()

This will result in the following call sequence:

 cam.setFov(90)
 cam.setViewType('cutscene')
 cam.applyFov()
 cam.applyViewType()

NOTE: Currently the order of the apply calls following an unlock is not
guaranteed.

EXAMPLE CLASSES
===============
Here is an example of a class that uses ParamSet/ParamObj to manage its
parameters:

class Camera(ParamObj):
    class ParamSet(ParamObj.ParamSet):
        Params = {
            'viewType': 'normal',
            'fov': 60,
            }
    ...

    def getViewType(self):
        return self.viewType
    def setViewType(self, viewType):
        self.viewType = viewType
    def applyViewType(self):
        if self.viewType == 'normal':
            ...

    def getFov(self):
        return self.fov
    def setFov(self, fov):
        self.fov = fov
    def applyFov(self):
        base.camera.setFov(self.fov)
    ...


EXAMPLE USAGE
=============

cam = Camera()
...

# set up for the cutscene
savedSettings = cam.ParamSet(cam)
cam.setViewType('closeup')
cam.setFov(90)
...

# cutscene is over, set the camera back
savedSettings.applyTo(cam)
del savedSettings

POD (Plain Ol' Data)

Like ParamObj/ParamSet, but without lock/unlock/getPriorValue and without
appliers. Similar to a C++ struct, but with auto-generated setters and
getters.

Use POD when you want the generated getters and setters of ParamObj, but
efficiency is a concern and you don't need the bells and whistles provided
by ParamObj.

POD.__init__ *MUST* be called. You should NOT define your own data getters
and setters. Data values may be read, set, and modified directly. You will
see no errors if you define your own getters/setters, but there is no
guarantee that they will be called--and they will certainly be bypassed by
POD internally.

EXAMPLE CLASSES
===============
Here is an example of a class heirarchy that uses POD to manage its data:

class Enemy(POD):
  DataSet = {
    'faction': 'navy',
    }

class Sailor(Enemy):
  DataSet = {
    'build': HUSKY,
    'weapon': Cutlass(scale=.9),
    }

    95% of the observations fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

      deviations of the mean.

# class: Singleton
# Purpose: This provides a base metaclass for all classes
#          that require one and only one instance.
#
# Example: class mySingleton:
#              __metaclass__ = PythonUtil.Singleton
#              def __init__(self, ...):
#                  ...
#
# Note: This class is based on Python's New-Style Class
#       design. An error will occur if a defined class
#       attemps to inherit from a Classic-Style Class only,
#       ie: class myClassX:
#               def __init__(self, ...):
#                   ...
#
#           class myNewClassX(myClassX):
#               __metaclass__ = PythonUtil.Singleton
#               def __init__(self, ...):
#                   myClassX.__init__(self, ...)
#                   ...
#
#           This causes problems because myNewClassX is a
#           New-Style class that inherits from only a
#           Classic-Style base class. There are two ways
#           simple ways to resolve this issue.
#
#           First, if possible, make myClassX a
#           New-Style class by inheriting from object
#           object. IE:  class myClassX(object):
#
#           If for some reason that is not an option, make
#           myNewClassX inherit from object and myClassX.
#           IE: class myNewClassX(object, myClassX):

    This is a decorator generating function.  Use is similar to
    a @decorator, except you must be sure to call it as a function.
    It actually returns the decorator which is then used to transform
    your decorated function. Confusing at first, I know.

    Decoration occurs at function definition time.

    If __dev__ is not defined, or resolves to False, this function
    has no effect and no wrapping/transform occurs.  So in production,
    it's as if the report has been asserted out.
    
    Parameters::
    types : A subset list of ['timeStamp', 'frameCount', 'avLocation']
            This allows you to specify certain useful bits of info.

            module:     Prints the module that this report statement
                        can be found in.
            args:       Prints the arguments as they were passed to
                        this function.
            timeStamp:  Adds the current frame time to the output.
            deltaStamp: Adds the current AI synched frame time to
                        the output 
            frameCount: Adds the current frame count to the output.
                        Usually cleaner than the timeStamp output.
            avLocation: Adds the localAvatar's network location
                        to the output.  Useful for interest debugging.
            interests:  Prints the current interest state after the
                        report.
            stackTrace: Prints a stack trace after the report.
            
    prefix: Optional string to prepend to output, just before the function.
            Allows for easy grepping and is useful when merging AI/Client
            reports into a single file.
            
    notifyFunc: A notify function such as info, debug, warning, etc.
                By default the report will be printed to stdout. This 
                will allow you send the report to a designated 'notify'
                output.
                
    dConfigParam: A list of Config.prc string variables.
                  By default the report will always print.  If you
                  specify this param, it will only print if one of the
                  specified config strings resolve to True.
