class Opt(object):
|

"""An option required by an authentication plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
Opts provide a means for authentication plugins that are going to be
|
||||
dynamically loaded to specify the parameters that are to be passed to the
|
||||
plugin on initialization.
|
||||
|
||||
The Opt specifies information about the way the plugin parameter is to be
|
||||
represented in different loading mechanisms.
|
||||
|
||||
When defining an Opt with a - the - should be present in the name
|
||||
parameter. This will automatically be converted to an _ when passing to the
|
||||
plugin initialization. For example, you should specify::
|
||||
|
||||
Opt('user-domain-id')
|
||||
|
||||
which will pass the value as `user_domain_id` to the plugin's
|
||||
initialization.
|
||||
|
||||
:param str name: The name of the option.
|
||||
:param callable type: The type of the option. This is a callable which is
|
||||
passed the raw option that was loaded (often a string) and is required
|
||||
to return the parameter in the type expected by __init__.
|
||||
:param str help: The help text that is shown along with the option.
|
||||
:param bool secret: If the parameter is secret it should not be printed or
|
||||
logged in debug output.
|
||||
:param str dest: the name of the argument that will be passed to __init__.
|
||||
This allows you to have a different name in loading than is used by the
|
||||
__init__ function. Defaults to the the value of name.
|
||||
:param opt: A list of other options that are deprecated in favour of this
|
||||
one. This ensures the old options are still registered.
|
||||
:type opt: list(Opt)
|
||||
:param default: A default value that can be used if one is not provided.
|
||||
:param str metavar: The <metavar> that should be printed in CLI help text.
|
||||
:param bool required: If the option is required to load the plugin. If a
|
||||
required option is not present loading should fail.
