The PropertyManager mixin class provides an object with transparent property management. An object which wants to have properties should inherit from PropertyManager.

 _properties=({'id':'title', 'type': 'string', 'mode': 'w'},
              {'id':'color', 'type': 'string', 'mode': 'w'},
              )

The _properties structure is a sequence of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a predefined property. Note that if a predefined property is defined in the _properties structure, you must provide an attribute with that name in your class or instance that contains the default value of the predefined property.

Each entry in the _properties structure must have at least an 'id' and a 'type' key. The 'id' key contains the name of the property, and the 'type' key contains a string representing the object's type. The 'type' string must be one of the values: 'float', 'int', 'long', 'string', 'lines', 'text', 'date', 'tokens', 'selection', or 'multiple section'.

For 'selection' and 'multiple selection' properties, there is an addition item in the property dictionay, 'select_variable' which provides the name of a property or method which returns a list of strings from which the selection(s) can be chosen.

Each entry in the _properties structure may *optionally* provide a 'mode' key, which specifies the mutability of the property. The 'mode' string, if present, must contain 0 or more characters from the set 'w','d'.

A 'w' present in the mode string indicates that the value of the property may be changed by the user. A 'd' indicates that the user can delete the property. An empty mode string indicates that the property and its value may be shown in property listings, but that it is read-only and may not be deleted.

Entries in the _properties structure which do not have a 'mode' key are assumed to have the mode 'wd' (writeable and deleteable).
