ConfigurableInstance

class lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableInstance(config, field, at=None, label='default')

Bases: object

A retargetable configuration in a ConfigurableField that proxies a Config.

The actual Config instance is accessed using the value property (e.g. to get its documentation). The associated configurable object (usually a Task) is accessed using the target property.
