+===============================================================
+loops - Linked Objects for Organization and Processing Services
+===============================================================
+
+The loops expert - knows what is in a loops site and how to make
+use of it.
+
+  ($Id$)
+
+The query stuff depends on hurry.query, see
+http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/hurry.query
+
+
+Setting up a loops Site and Utilities
+=====================================
+
+Let's do some basic set up
+
+  >>> from zope.app.testing.setup import placefulSetUp, placefulTearDown
+  >>> site = placefulSetUp(True)
+
+  >>> from zope import component, interface
+
+and build a simple loops site with a concept manager and some concepts
+(with a relation registry, a catalog, and all the type machinery - what
+in real life is done via standard ZCML setup):
+
+  >>> from cybertools.relation.tests import IntIdsStub
+  >>> component.provideUtility(IntIdsStub())
+  >>> from cybertools.relation.registry import RelationRegistry
+  >>> from cybertools.relation.interfaces import IRelationRegistry
+  >>> relations = RelationRegistry()
+  >>> relations.setupIndexes()
+  >>> component.provideUtility(relations, IRelationRegistry)
+
+  >>> from loops.type import ConceptType, TypeConcept
+  >>> component.provideAdapter(ConceptType)
+  >>> component.provideAdapter(TypeConcept)
+
+  >>> from zope.app.catalog.catalog import Catalog
+  >>> catalog = Catalog()
+  >>> from zope.app.catalog.interfaces import ICatalog
+  >>> component.provideUtility(catalog, ICatalog)
+
+  >>> from zope.app.catalog.field import FieldIndex
+  >>> from zope.app.catalog.text import TextIndex
+  >>> from loops.interfaces import IIndexAttributes
+  >>> catalog['loops_title'] = TextIndex('title', IIndexAttributes)
+  >>> catalog['loops_text'] = TextIndex('text', IIndexAttributes)
+  >>> catalog['loops_type'] = TextIndex('type', IIndexAttributes)
+
+  >>> from loops import Loops
+  >>> loopsRoot = site['loops'] = Loops()
+
+  >>> from loops.knowledge.setup import SetupManager
+  >>> component.provideAdapter(SetupManager, name='knowledge')
+  >>> from loops.setup import SetupManager
+  >>> setup = SetupManager(loopsRoot)
+  >>> concepts, resources, views = setup.setup()
+
+  >>> from loops import util
+  >>> from loops.concept import IndexAttributes
+  >>> component.provideAdapter(IndexAttributes)
+
+  >>> from loops.concept import Concept
+
+  >>> for c in concepts:
+  ...     catalog.index_doc(util.getUidForObject(c), c)
+
+  >>> #sorted(concepts)
+
+
+Text Queries
+============
+
+
+Fin de partie
+=============
+
+  >>> placefulTearDown()
