2011-02-09More sane naming for the variable typing codeChris Larson
oe.types.value -> oe.data.typed_value This name has been bugging me. This function is the primary interface to the module for OE metadata, as it takes a variable name and datastore and returns an object of the correct type. While this function is part of the variable typing implementation, in reality it's more about giving you a useful object from the metadata, so I think oe.data is a more appropriate place for it. oe.types -> oe.maketype These are the functions which construct types, not the types themselves, so it was somewhat misleading. oe._types -> oe.types These are the actual types, any callable in this module becomes an OE type, using its arguments to determine the variable flags (optional and required) to obey. Will use __init__'s args in the case of an actual python class. Signed-off-by: Chris Larson <chris_larson@mentor.com>
