Initialize a new Parameter object and store the supplied attributes:
default: the owning class’s value for the attribute represented by this Parameter, which can be overridden in an instance.
doc: docstring explaining what this parameter represents.
label: optional text label to be used when this Parameter is shown in a listing. If no label is supplied, the attribute name for this parameter in the owning Parameterized object is used.
precedence: a numeric value, usually in the range 0.0 to 1.0, which allows the order of Parameters in a class to be defined in a listing or e.g. in GUI menus. A negative precedence indicates a parameter that should be hidden in such listings.
instantiate: controls whether the value of this Parameter will be deepcopied when a Parameterized object is instantiated (if True), or if the single default value will be shared by all Parameterized instances (if False). For an immutable Parameter value, it is best to leave instantiate at the default of False, so that a user can choose to change the value at the Parameterized instance level (affecting only that instance) or at the Parameterized class or superclass level (affecting all existing and future instances of that class or superclass). For a mutable Parameter value, the default of False is also appropriate if you want all instances to share the same value state, e.g. if they are each simply referring to a single global object like a singleton. If instead each Parameterized should have its own independently mutable value, instantiate should be set to True, but note that there is then no simple way to change the value of this Parameter at the class or superclass level, because each instance, once created, will then have an independently instantiated value.
constant: if true, the Parameter value can be changed only at the class level or in a Parameterized constructor call. The value is otherwise constant on the Parameterized instance, once it has been constructed.
readonly: if true, the Parameter value cannot ordinarily be changed by setting the attribute at the class or instance levels at all. The value can still be changed in code by temporarily overriding the value of this slot and then restoring it, which is useful for reporting values that the _user_ should never change but which do change during code execution.
pickle_default_value: whether the default value should be pickled. Usually, you would want the default value to be pickled, but there are rare cases where that would not be the case (e.g. for file search paths that are specific to a certain system).
per_instance: whether a separate Parameter instance will be created for every Parameterized instance. True by default. If False, all instances of a Parameterized class will share the same Parameter object, including all validation attributes (bounds, etc.). See also instantiate, which is conceptually similar but affects the Parameter value rather than the Parameter object.
allow_None: if True, None is accepted as a valid value for this Parameter, in addition to any other values that are allowed. If the default value is defined as None, allow_None is set to True automatically.
allow_refs: if True allows automatically linking parameter references to this Parameter, i.e. the parameter value will automatically reflect the current value of the reference that is passed in.
nested_refs: if True and allow_refs=True then even nested objects such as dictionaries, lists, slices, tuples and sets will be inspected for references and will be automatically resolved.
default, doc, and precedence all default to None, which allows inheritance of Parameter slots (attributes) from the owning-class’ class hierarchy (see ParameterizedMetaclass).
Methods
__init__([default, objects, instantiate, ...])Initialize a new Parameter object and store the supplied attributes:
compute_default()If this parameter's compute_default_fn is callable, call it and store the result in self.default.
deserialize(value)Given a serializable Python value, return a value that the parameter can be set to
get_range()Return the possible objects to which this parameter could be set.
schema([safe, subset, mode])serialize(value)Given the parameter value, return a Python value suitable for serialization
