"""In testrepository a UI is an interface to a 'user' (which may be a machine).

The testrepository.ui.cli module contains a command line interface, and the
module testrepository.ui.model contains a purely object based implementation
which is used for testing testrepository.

See AbstractUI for details on what UI classes should do and are responsible
for.
"""

    """The base class for UI objects, this providers helpers and the interface.

    A UI object is responsible for brokering interactions with a particular
    user environment (e.g. the command line). These interactions can take
    several forms:
     - reading bulk data
     - gathering data
     - emitting progress or activity data - hints as to the programs execution.
     - providing notices about actions taken
     - showing the result of some query (including errors)
    All of these things are done in a structured fashion. See the methods
    iter_streams, query_user, progress, notice and result.

    UI objects are generally expected to be used once, with a fresh one
    created for each command executed.

    :ivar cmd: The command that is running using this UI object.
    :ivar here: The location that command is being run in. This may be a local
        path or a URL. This is only guaranteed to be set after set_command is
        called, as some UI's need to do option processing to determine its
        value.

        specific options.
