Allow user to disable default loading of object factory override methods in Python. This is primarily intended to assist in debug investigations where factory overrides are suspected of interfering with expected behavior.
Behavior can be configured in two lines:
With default factory loading disabled a developer is responsible for manually supplying any implementations of abstract classes that previously relied on factory instantiation. For example,
itk.ImageFileReader
relies on factory overrides ofImageIO
to read files based on their extension, so with no factories registered the developer must supply a suitableImageIO
object, i.e. :The
PythonNoDefaultFactories
test is added to cover the scenario whereDefaultFactoryLoading
is set toFalse
.DefaultFactoryLoading
isTrue
by default and factory loading is covered by other tests.PR Checklist
