[IPython-dev] Passing information to a NotebookManager

Creating a NotebookApp with a modified notebook manager is easy enough:
just configure NotebookApp.notebook_manager_class. But I need additional
information passed to my notebook manager. Since I don't control the
creation of the notebook manager object, I need to find some other way.
I tried to use the configuration system, setting configuration options
at run time:
from IPython.html.notebookapp import NotebookApp
app = NotebookApp()
app.config.NotebookApp.notebook_manager_class = 'activepapers.notebooks.ActivePapersNotebookManager'
app.config.ActivePapersNotebookManager.active_paper_path = filename
app.config.ActivePapersNotebookManager.may_write = True
app.initialize(argv=[])
app.start()
In my class ActivePapersNotebookManager, I have
class ActivePapersNotebookManager(NotebookManager):
active_paper_path = Unicode(config=True)
active_paper_may_write = Bool(config=True)
followed by the code. This works fine for active_paper_path, but
active_paper_may_write ends up being False.
Questions:
1) Is this the right approach, or should I try something else entirely?
2) How can I debug the information transfer through the configuration system?
Thanks in advance,
Konrad.
