I changed the way the variables in the configuration are set. To modify the truncation length, use

import check50
check50.config.set_truncate_len(<value>)

anywhere within your file, where <value> is the actual length you wish to enter.

I also modified it so that the config for check50 is very easily extensible for developers. Simply add a new variable to the __init__ of the Config class in config.py, and a new setter function will be automatically generated based on the variable name. You can optionally add validators into the _validators dictionary for any variable you wish, with optional help messages.

The name of the function depends on the type of the default value you assign. If that default value is a bool, then the function will be of the form toggle_<variable name>(). Otherwise, it will be of the form set_<variable name>(<value>).

For instance, to disable the dynamic truncation, use

import check50
check50.config.toggle_dynamic_truncate()

anywhere within your file.

All configuration setter functions will be accessible under the check50.config namespace.

For readability's sake, I've removed toggle_ functions. Now, users must explicitly set the variable's value, even if the default value is a boolean, and developers who extend the Config class are recommended to implement validators for their boolean variables.

For instance, to disable the dynamic truncation, use

import check50
check50.config.set_dynamic_truncate(False)
