"""A simple example of how to use IPython.config.application.Application.
This should serve as a simple example that shows how the IPython config
system works. The main classes are:
* IPython.config.configurable.Configurable
* IPython.config.configurable.SingletonConfigurable
* IPython.config.loader.Config
* IPython.config.application.Application
To see the command line option help, run this program from the command line::
$ python appconfig.py -h
To make one of your classes configurable (from the command line and config
files) inherit from Configurable and declare class attributes as traits (see
classes Foo and Bar below). To make the traits configurable, you will need
to set the following options:
* ``config``: set to ``True`` to make the attribute configurable.
* ``shortname``: by default, configurable attributes are set using the syntax
"Classname.attributename". At the command line, this is a bit verbose, so
we allow "shortnames" to be declared. Setting a shortname is optional, but
when you do this, you can set the option at the command line using the
syntax: "shortname=value".
* ``help``: set the help string to display a help message when the ``-h``
option is given at the command line. The help string should be valid ReST.
When the config attribute of an Application is updated, it will fire all of
the trait's events for all of the config=True attributes.
