    """
    Derive a default value from other supplied values.

    For example, say you wanted to create a default for the user's login from
    the user's first and last names. It could be implemented like this:

    >>> login = DefaultFrom(lambda first, last: first[0] + last)
    >>> login(first='John', last='Doe')
    'JDoe'

    If you do not explicitly provide keys when you create a DefaultFrom
    instance, the keys are implicitly derived from your callback by
    inspecting ``callback.func_code.co_varnames``. The keys are available
    through the ``DefaultFrom.keys`` instance attribute, like this:

    >>> login.keys
    ('first', 'last')

    The callback is available through the ``DefaultFrom.callback`` instance
    attribute, like this:

    >>> login.callback # doctest:+ELLIPSIS
    <function <lambda> at 0x...>
    >>> login.callback.func_code.co_varnames # The keys
    ('first', 'last')

    The keys can be explicitly provided as optional positional arguments after
    the callback. For example, this is equivalent to the ``login`` instance
    above:

    >>> login2 = DefaultFrom(lambda a, b: a[0] + b, 'first', 'last')
    >>> login2.keys
    ('first', 'last')
    >>> login2.callback.func_code.co_varnames # Not the keys
    ('a', 'b')
    >>> login2(first='John', last='Doe')
    'JDoe'

    If any keys are missing when calling your DefaultFrom instance, your
    callback is not called and None is returned. For example:

    >>> login(first='John', lastname='Doe') is None
    True
    >>> login() is None
    True

    Any additional keys are simply ignored, like this:

    >>> login(last='Doe', first='John', middle='Whatever')
    'JDoe'

    As above, because `DefaultFrom.__call__` takes only pure keyword
    arguments, they can be supplied in any order.

    Of course, the callback need not be a lambda expression. This third
    example is equivalent to both the ``login`` and ``login2`` instances
    above:

    >>> def get_login(first, last):
    ...     return first[0] + last
    ...
    >>> login3 = DefaultFrom(get_login)
    >>> login3.keys
    ('first', 'last')
    >>> login3.callback.func_code.co_varnames
    ('first', 'last')
    >>> login3(first='John', last='Doe')
    'JDoe'
    """

    def __init__(self, callback, *keys):
        """
        :param callback: The callable to call when all keys are present.
        :param keys: Optional keys used for source values.
        """
        if not callable(callback):

    """
    Base class implementing the attribute-to-object association.

    `Attribute` plugins are associated with an `Object` plugin to group
    a common set of commands that operate on a common set of parameters.

    The association between attribute and object is done using a simple
    naming convention: the first part of the plugin class name (up to the
    first underscore) is the object name, and rest is the attribute name,
    as this table shows:

    ===============  ===========  ==============
    Class name       Object name  Attribute name
    ===============  ===========  ==============
    noun_verb        noun         verb

    user_first_name  user         first_name
    ===============  ===========  ==============

    For example:

    >>> class user_add(Attribute):
    ...     pass
    ...
    >>> instance = user_add()
    >>> instance.obj_name
    'user'
    >>> instance.attr_name
    'add'

    In practice the `Attribute` class is not used directly, but rather is
    only the base class for the `Method` and `Property` classes.  Also see
    the `Object` class.

    """
    A command with an associated object.

    A `Method` plugin must have a corresponding `Object` plugin.  The
    association between object and method is done through a simple naming
    convention: the first part of the method name (up to the first under
    score) is the object name, as the examples in this table show:

    =============  ===========  ==============
    Method name    Object name  Attribute name
    =============  ===========  ==============
    user_add       user         add
    noun_verb      noun         verb
    door_open_now  door         open_now
    =============  ===========  ==============

    There are three different places a method can be accessed.  For example,
    say you created a `Method` plugin and its corresponding `Object` plugin
    like this:

    >>> api = plugable.API(Command, Object, Method, Property)
    >>> class user_add(Method):
    ...     def run(self):
    ...             return 'Added the user!'
    ...
    >>> class user(Object):
    ...     pass
    ...
    >>> api.register(user_add)
    >>> api.register(user)
    >>> api.finalize()

    First, the ``user_add`` plugin can be accessed through the ``api.Method``
    namespace:

    >>> list(api.Method)
    ['user_add']
    >>> api.Method.user_add() # Will call user_add.run()
    'Added the user!'

    Second, because `Method` is a subclass of `Command`, the ``user_add``
    plugin can also be accessed through the ``api.Command`` namespace:

    >>> list(api.Command)
    ['user_add']
    >>> api.Command.user_add() # Will call user_add.run()
    'Added the user!'

    And third, ``user_add`` can be accessed as an attribute on the ``user``
    `Object`:

    >>> list(api.Object)
    ['user']
    >>> list(api.Object.user.methods)
    ['add']
    >>> api.Object.user.methods.add() # Will call user_add.run()
    'Added the user!'

    The `Attribute` base class implements the naming convention for the
    attribute-to-object association.  Also see the `Object` and the
    `Property` classes.
