[SciPy-user] Traits: Problem with my first example.

[Donald 'Paddy' McCarthy]

Thanks Dave.
I only ask because I am looking into using traits as the main part of my 
GUI for an application that can be thought of as a large set of 
properties, irganised into hierarchical groups with interdependancies. 
The properties  will be used to configure a chip, (what peripherals are 
allowed, configuraton for allowed peripherals etc).

Part of the problem is that several engineers know how to configure 
their part of chip but may not want to use the GUI . It would just save 
me time I guessif you had a text format but I can adapt something like 
YAML or the config parser.

Cheers, Paddy.
