Loading From Configuration Files

options values can be easily writen to, or read from, configuration files. E.g. reading from JSON and YAML with a low-level approach:

import json
o = Options()
jdata = json.load(open('config.json'))
o.update(jdata)

Or for YAML:

import yaml
o = Options()
ydata = yaml.load(open('config.yml').read())
o.update(ydata)

At a higher level, Options objects contain a write method that will directly write the object to a JSON file, and a read class method that will construct an Options object from a JSON file.
