This package provides debconf-like (or about:config-like) settings registries for Zope applications. A registry, with a dict-like API, is used to get and set values stored in records. Each record contains the actual value, as well as a field that describes the record in more detail. At a minimum, the field contains information about the type of value allowed, as well as a short title describing the record's purpose.

See the following doctests for more details:

• registry.rst, which demonstrates how registries and records work
• events.rst, which shows the events that are fired from the registry
• field.rst, which describes the behaviour of persistent fields
