NAME
       baseobj - Base object

DESCRIPTION
       Base class so objects will inherit the methods which provide the string representation of the object and methods to change the verbosity of
       such string representation. It also includes a simple debug printing and logging mechanism including methods to change the debug  verbosity
       level and methods to add debug levels.

CLASSES
   class BaseObj(__builtin__.object)
       Base  class  so objects will inherit the methods which provide the string representation of the object and a simple debug printing and log-
       ging mechanism.

       Methods defined here:
       ---------------------

       __init__(self, *kwts, **kwds)
	      Constructor

	      Initialize object's private data according to the arguments given

	      Examples:
		  # Named arguments
		  x = BaseObj(a=1, b=2)

		  # Dictionary argument
		  x = BaseObj({'a':1, 'b':2})

		  # Tuple arguments: first for keys and second for the values
		  x = BaseObj(['a', 'b'], [1, 2])

		  # All of the above will create an object having two attributes:
		  x.a = 1 and x.b = 2

       __repr__(self)
	      String representation of object

	      The representation depends on the verbose level set by debug_repr().  If set to 0 the generic  object  representation  is  returned,
	      else the representation of the object includes all object attributes and their values with proper indentation.

       __str__ = __repr__(self)

       close_log(self)
	      Close log file.

       debug_level(self, level=0)
	      Set debug level mask.

	      level: Level to set. This could be a number or a string expression of names defined by debug_map()

	      Examples:
		  # Set level
		  x.debug_level(0xFF)

		  # Set level using expression
		  x.debug_level('all')
		  x.debug_level('debug ^ 1')

       dprint(self, level, msg, indent=0)
	      Print debug message if level is allowed by the verbose level given in debug_level().

       open_log(self, logfile)
	      Open log file.

       Static methods defined here:
       ----------------------------

       debug_map(bitmap, name='', disp='')
	      Add a debug mapping.

	      Generic debug levels map
		<bitmap>  <name>  <disp prefix>
		 0x000	  'none'
		 0x001	  'info'  'INFO: ' # Display info messages only
		 0x0FF	  'debug' 'DBG:  ' # Display info and all debug messages (0x02-0x80)
		>0x100	  user defined verbose levels

       debug_repr(level=None)
	      Return or set verbose level of object's string representation.  When setting the verbose level, return the verbose level before set-
	      ting it.

	      level: Level of verbosity to set

       dindent(indent)
	      Set global indentation.

       write_log(data)
	      Write data to log file.

BUGS
       No known bugs.
