[chirp_devel] [PATCH 0 of 3] [RFC] Generic Settings API

[Dan Smith]

Hi all,

Here is my proposed generic settings API implementation. The first patch
adds chirp/settings.py and a method for a driver to declare a set of
settings and constraints. The second patch implements most of the settings
for the UV-5R. The third implements a very minimal UI.

This is very much not complete, but it works and I want to get it out there
for comments. I envision the UI tolerating multiple levels of setting groups,
which it would display to the user as labeled tabular sets (or something).
Could also be a settings dialog with tabs or a tree.

The "string" setting type hasn't been tested since the UV-5R doesn't have
any string settings. If this looks good, I think I'll move on to adding
support for editing some of the APRS settings in the VX-8R, which will
really push the limit.

Anyway, comments on this? Would this apply suitably to other radios?

Thanks!
