Detailed Description

Standalone Analysis Algorithm Configuration

This class is used to describe the configuration of an analysis algorithm
(a C++ class inheriting from EL::AnaAlgorithm) in Python. It behaves
similar to an Athena configurable, but is implemented in a much simpler
way.

An example of using it in configuring an EventLoop job could look like:

   job = ROOT.EL.Job()
   ...
   from AnaAlgorithm.AnaAlgorithmConfig import AnaAlgorithmConfig
   alg = AnaAlgorithmConfig( "EL::UnitTestAlg2/TestAlg",
                             property = 1.23 )
   alg.string_property = "Foo"
   job.algsAdd( alg )

Note that the python code doesn't know what properties can actually be set
on any given C++ algorithm. Any mistake made in the Python configuration
(apart from syntax errors) is only discovered while initialising the
analysis job.

__init__()

python.AnaAlgorithmConfig.AnaAlgorithmConfig.__init__	(		self,

Constructor for an algorithm configuration object

Keyword arguments:

Note that you can pass (initial) properties to the constructor like:

                             property = 1.23 )

__eq__()

python.AnaAlgorithmConfig.AnaAlgorithmConfig.__eq__	(		self,

Check for equality with another object

The implementation of this is very simple. We only check that the type
and the name of the algorithms would match.

__getattr__()

python.AnaAlgorithmConfig.AnaAlgorithmConfig.__getattr__	(		self,

Get a previously set property value from the configuration

This function allows us to retrieve the value of a property that was
already set for the algorithm, to possibly use it in some configuration
decisions in the Python code itself.
