Paramet er Descrip t io n
Table 32.3, “ Configuration parameter default values” lists all configuration parameters available, the
Python parser function which sets the value and default values. The setter function gives an idea of
what the parser does with the values you specify. It reads these as Python values, then feeds them to
a setter function to store them. If the value is not valid Python, you get an obscure error message. If
the setter rejects your value, you should get a reasonable error message, except it appears to get lost
somehow, along with your bogus setting. If the setter accepts, but the value is incorrect the
application may fail.
