"""
    The Validator object is used to check that supplied values 
    conform to a specification.
    
    The value can be supplied as a string - e.g. from a config file.
    In this case the check will also *convert* the value to
    the required type. This allows you to add validation
    as a transparent layer to access data stored as strings.
    The validation checks that the data is correct *and*
    converts it to the expected type.
    
    Some standard checks are provided for basic data types.
    Additional checks are easy to write. They can be
    provided when the ``Validator`` is instantiated or
    added afterwards.
    
    The standard functions work with the following basic data types :
    
    * integers
    * floats
    * booleans
    * strings
    * ip_addr
    
    plus lists of these datatypes
    
    Adding additional checks is done through coding simple functions.
    
    The full set of standard checks are : 
    
    * 'integer': matches integer values (including negative)
                 Takes optional 'min' and 'max' arguments : ::
    
                   integer()
                   integer(3, 9)  # any value from 3 to 9
                   integer(min=0) # any positive value
                   integer(max=9)
    
    * 'float': matches float values
               Has the same parameters as the integer check.
    
    * 'boolean': matches boolean values - ``True`` or ``False``
                 Acceptable string values for True are :
                   true, on, yes, 1
                 Acceptable string values for False are :
                   false, off, no, 0
    
                 Any other value raises an error.
    
    * 'ip_addr': matches an Internet Protocol address, v.4, represented
                 by a dotted-quad string, i.e. '1.2.3.4'.
    
    * 'string': matches any string.
                Takes optional keyword args 'min' and 'max'
                to specify min and max lengths of the string.
    
    * 'list': matches any list.
              Takes optional keyword args 'min', and 'max' to specify min and
              max sizes of the list. (Always returns a list.)
    
    * 'tuple': matches any tuple.
              Takes optional keyword args 'min', and 'max' to specify min and
              max sizes of the tuple. (Always returns a tuple.)
    
    * 'int_list': Matches a list of integers.
                  Takes the same arguments as list.
    
    * 'float_list': Matches a list of floats.
                    Takes the same arguments as list.
    
    * 'bool_list': Matches a list of boolean values.
                   Takes the same arguments as list.
    
    * 'ip_addr_list': Matches a list of IP addresses.
                     Takes the same arguments as list.
    
    * 'string_list': Matches a list of strings.
                     Takes the same arguments as list.
    
    * 'mixed_list': Matches a list with different types in 
                    specific positions. List size must match
                    the number of arguments.
    
                    Each position can be one of :
                    'integer', 'float', 'ip_addr', 'string', 'boolean'
    
                    So to specify a list with two strings followed
                    by two integers, you write the check as : ::
    
                      mixed_list('string', 'string', 'integer', 'integer')
    
    * 'pass': This check matches everything ! It never fails
              and the value is unchanged.
    
              It is also the default if no check is specified.
    
    * 'option': This check matches any from a list of options.
                You specify this check with : ::
    
                  option('option 1', 'option 2', 'option 3')
    
    You can supply a default value (returned if no value is supplied)
    using the default keyword argument.
    
    You specify a list argument for default using a list constructor syntax in
    the check : ::
    
        checkname(arg1, arg2, default=list('val 1', 'val 2', 'val 3'))
    
    A badly formatted set of arguments will raise a ``VdtParamError``.

    Validator is an object that allows you to register a set of 'checks'.
    These checks take input and test that it conforms to the check.
    
    This can also involve converting the value from a string into
    the correct datatype.
    
    The ``check`` method takes an input string which configures which
    check is to be used and applies that check to a supplied value.
    
    An example input string would be:
    'int_range(param1, param2)'
    
    You would then provide something like:
    
    >>> def int_range_check(value, min, max):
    ...     # turn min and max from strings to integers
    ...     min = int(min)
    ...     max = int(max)
    ...     # check that value is of the correct type.
    ...     # possible valid inputs are integers or strings
    ...     # that represent integers
    ...     if not isinstance(value, (int, long, string_type)):
    ...         raise VdtTypeError(value)
    ...     elif isinstance(value, string_type):

    ...             raise VdtValueError(value)
    ...     # check the value is between our constraints
    ...     if not min <= value:
    ...          raise VdtValueTooSmallError(value)
    ...     if not value <= max:
    ...          raise VdtValueTooBigError(value)
    ...     return value
    
    >>> fdict = {'int_range': int_range_check}
    >>> vtr1 = Validator(fdict)
    >>> vtr1.check('int_range(20, 40)', '30')
    30
    >>> vtr1.check('int_range(20, 40)', '60')
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    VdtValueTooBigError: the value "60" is too big.
    
    New functions can be added with : ::
    
    >>> vtr2 = Validator()       
    >>> vtr2.functions['int_range'] = int_range_check
    
    Or by passing in a dictionary of functions when Validator 
    is instantiated.
    
    Your functions *can* use keyword arguments,
    but the first argument should always be 'value'.
    
    If the function doesn't take additional arguments,
    the parentheses are optional in the check.
