Methods

__init__([filename])	Initializer
base_keys()	Returns the keys of the first level of the mapping
clear(() -> None.  Remove all items from D.)
do_rollover(filename[, rotate_n_state_files])	Rotate state files (as in logging module).
get(key[, default])	Get the key or return the default value if provided
get_instance()	Get the singleton instance
get_or_set(key, value)	Either gets the value associated with key or set it
items(() -> list of D’s (key, value) pairs, ...)
iteritems(() -> an iterator over the (key, ...)
iterkeys(() -> an iterator over the keys of D)
itervalues(...)
keys(() -> list of D’s keys)
load([filename, lazy, raise_error])	Loads state from a h5f file
merge(other)	Merge in another mapping, giving precedence to self
need_saving()	Checks if state needs to be saved
pop((k[,d]) -> v, ...)	If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised.
popitem(() -> (k, v), ...)	as a 2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.
reset_instance()	Reset the singleton
save(filename[, rotate_n_state_files, ...])	Saves state to a h5f file, rotating if necessary
section_keys()	Returns the keys of the sections (and subsections) of the mapping
setdefault((k[,d]) -> D.get(k,d), ...)
show()	Shows the state
update(([E, ...)	If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k]
values(() -> list of D’s values)
