Description
Subclasses of trac.config.Configuration have been implemented for Apache™ Bloodhound multi-product support . They store settings in the database instead of .ini files . They satisfy expected behavior since [ Trac config tests will pass]. Nonetheless some errors have been detected while using them together with Option descriptors .
The root cause is that trac.config.Option.accessor is set to unbound method trac.config.Section.get . This very same method is overriden by our sub-classes. Therefore Option.__get__ under the new circumstances will always fail because the more specialized method is never invoked.
Hence I'm proposing this patch to be committed upstream in order to enable method polymorphism on Section instances as a consequence of invoking Option.__get__ .
