[Pkg-exppsy-maintainers] state variable in PyMVPA

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Hi All,

As I already told Michael I reworked a bit the way we do 'states' -- ie
information in the objects which can be conditionally stored if they are
enabled.

If before we simply accessed them via getattr, ie like
clf["values"]
and polluted objects namespace with all kinds state-modifying-methods,
such as
clf.isStateEnabled, now it is done via attributes, and access to state
variables is done via .states attribute, ie

print clf.values
clf.states.enable('values)

needless to say that now we got completion for the state variables
working ipython (although it completes both enabled and not enabled
state variables...)

So, it is a little beastie (which costed me some time) but I hope you
like it

now time to get some data analyzed

P.S. those modifications are under appropriate branch
(_tent/state-access-via-getsetattr) and also I merged them into my
branch (historically named as yoh/mappers)
