Handle typed values much better in get-siteconfig and set-siteconfig.
Review Request #7311 — Created May 17, 2015 and submitted
Our siteconfig management commands did pretty well for string values, but they
had several issues for other types:
- get-siteconfig would fail with an exception for any value that wasn't a
string. - set-siteconfig wouldn't understand anything but "0" and "1" for boolean
values, despite list-siteconfig printing "true" and "false". - set-siteconfig was unable to set a key to None.
I've made several changes to address these issues. The one complication is that
in our type detection, for any type that doesn't have a default value, we have
to make a leap of faith that the passed-in value should be a string. This isn't
terribly common but does show up with some of the LDAP attributes.
Ran through all test cases listed in the attached bug.

Can we normalize value and call sys.stdout.write only once? |

Should use tuples instead of lists, for consistency (and expremely small performance/memory gains). |

Could simplify to: defaults = siteconfig.get_defaults() value_type = type(defaults.get(key_basename, '')) |
