+Overview
+========
+
+Kconfiglib is a Python 2/3 library for scripting and extracting information
+from Kconfig (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt)
+configuration systems.
+
+See the homepage at https://github.com/ulfalizer/Kconfiglib for a longer
+overview.
+
+Using Kconfiglib on the Linux kernel with the Makefile targets
+==============================================================
+
+For the Linux kernel, a handy interface is provided by the
+scripts/kconfig/Makefile patch, which can be applied with either 'git am' or
+the 'patch' utility:
+
+  $ wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ulfalizer/Kconfiglib/master/makefile.patch | git am
+  $ wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ulfalizer/Kconfiglib/master/makefile.patch | patch -p1
+
+Warning: Not passing -p1 to patch will cause the wrong file to be patched.
+
+Please tell me if the patch does not apply. It should be trivial to apply
+manually, as it's just a block of text that needs to be inserted near the other
+*conf: targets in scripts/kconfig/Makefile.
+
+Look further down for a motivation for the Makefile patch and for instructions
+on how you can use Kconfiglib without it.
+
+If you do not wish to install Kconfiglib via pip, the Makefile patch is set up
+so that you can also just clone Kconfiglib into the kernel root:
+
+  $ git clone git://github.com/ulfalizer/Kconfiglib.git
+  $ git am Kconfiglib/makefile.patch  (or 'patch -p1 < Kconfiglib/makefile.patch')
+
+Warning: The directory name Kconfiglib/ is significant in this case, because
+it's added to PYTHONPATH by the new targets in makefile.patch.
+
+The targets added by the Makefile patch are described in the following
+sections.
+
+
+make [ARCH=<arch>] iscriptconfig
+--------------------------------
+
+This target gives an interactive Python prompt where a Kconfig instance has
+been preloaded and is available in 'kconf'. To change the Python interpreter
+used, pass PYTHONCMD=<executable> to make. The default is "python".
+
+To get a feel for the API, try evaluating and printing the symbols in
+kconf.defined_syms, and explore the MenuNode menu tree starting at
+kconf.top_node by following 'next' and 'list' pointers.
+
+The item contained in a menu node is found in MenuNode.item (note that this can
+be one of the constants kconfiglib.MENU and kconfiglib.COMMENT), and all
+symbols and choices have a 'nodes' attribute containing their menu nodes
+(usually only one). Printing a menu node will print its item, in Kconfig
+format.
+
+If you want to look up a symbol by name, use the kconf.syms dictionary.
+
+
+make scriptconfig SCRIPT=<script> [SCRIPT_ARG=<arg>]
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+This target runs the Python script given by the SCRIPT parameter on the
+configuration. sys.argv[1] holds the name of the top-level Kconfig file
+(currently always "Kconfig" in practice), and sys.argv[2] holds the SCRIPT_ARG
+argument, if given.
+
+See the examples/ subdirectory for example scripts.
+
+
+Using Kconfiglib without the Makefile targets
+=============================================
+
+The make targets are only needed to pick up environment variables exported from
+the Kbuild makefiles and referenced inside Kconfig files, via e.g.
+'source "arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kconfig" and '$(shell,...)'.
+
+These variables are referenced as of writing (Linux 4.18), together with sample
+values:
+
+  srctree          (.)
+  ARCH             (x86)
+  SRCARCH          (x86)
+  KERNELVERSION    (4.18.0)
+  CC               (gcc)
+  HOSTCC           (gcc)
+  HOSTCXX          (g++)
+  CC_VERSION_TEXT  (gcc (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3) 7.3.0)
+
+To run Kconfiglib without the Makefile patch, set the environment variables
+manually:
+
+  $ srctree=. ARCH=x86 SRCARCH=x86 KERNELVERSION=`make kernelversion` ... python(3)
+  >>> import kconfiglib
+  >>> kconf = kconfiglib.Kconfig()  # filename defaults to "Kconfig"
+
+Search the top-level Makefile for "Additional ARCH settings" to see other
+possibilities for ARCH and SRCARCH.
+
+To see a list of all referenced environment variables together with their
+values, run this code from e.g. 'make iscriptconfig':
+
+  import os
+  for var in kconf.env_vars:
+      print(var, os.environ[var])
+
+
+Intro to symbol values
+======================
+
+Kconfiglib has the same assignment semantics as the C implementation.
+
+Any symbol can be assigned a value by the user (via Kconfig.load_config() or
+Symbol.set_value()), but this user value is only respected if the symbol is
+visible, which corresponds to it (currently) being visible in the menuconfig
+interface.
+
+For symbols with prompts, the visibility of the symbol is determined by the
+condition on the prompt. Symbols without prompts are never visible, so setting
+a user value on them is pointless. A warning will be printed by default if
+Symbol.set_value() is called on a promptless symbol. Assignments to promptless
+symbols are normal within a .config file, so no similar warning will be printed
+by load_config().
+
+Dependencies from parents and 'if'/'depends on' are propagated to properties,
+including prompts, so these two configurations are logically equivalent:
+
+(1)
+
+  menu "menu"
+  depends on A
+
+  if B
+
+  config FOO
+      tristate "foo" if D
+      default y
+      depends on C
+
+  endif
+
+  endmenu
+
+(2)
+
+  menu "menu"
+  depends on A
+
+  config FOO
+      tristate "foo" if A && B && C && D
+      default y if A && B && C
+
+  endmenu
+
+In this example, A && B && C && D (the prompt condition) needs to be non-n for
+FOO to be visible (assignable). If its value is m, the symbol can only be
+assigned the value m: The visibility sets an upper bound on the value that can
+be assigned by the user, and any higher user value will be truncated down.
+
+'default' properties are independent of the visibility, though a 'default' will
+often get the same condition as the prompt due to dependency propagation.
+'default' properties are used if the symbol is not visible or has no user
+value.
+
+Symbols with no user value (or that have a user value but are not visible) and
+no (active) 'default' default to n for bool/tristate symbols, and to the empty
+string for other symbol types.
+
+'select' works similarly to symbol visibility, but sets a lower bound on the
+value of the symbol. The lower bound is determined by the value of the
+select*ing* symbol. 'select' does not respect visibility, so non-visible
+symbols can be forced to a particular (minimum) value by a select as well.
+
+For non-bool/tristate symbols, it only matters whether the visibility is n or
+non-n: m visibility acts the same as y visibility.
+
+Conditions on 'default' and 'select' work in mostly intuitive ways. If the
+condition is n, the 'default' or 'select' is disabled. If it is m, the
+'default' or 'select' value (the value of the selecting symbol) is truncated
+down to m.
+
+When writing a configuration with Kconfig.write_config(), only symbols that are
+visible, have an (active) default, or are selected will get written out (note
+that this includes all symbols that would accept user values). Kconfiglib
+matches the .config format produced by the C implementations down to the
+character. This eases testing.
+
+For a visible bool/tristate symbol FOO with value n, this line is written to
+.config:
+
+    # CONFIG_FOO is not set
+
+The point is to remember the user n selection (which might differ from the
+default value the symbol would get), while at the same sticking to the rule
+that undefined corresponds to n (.config uses Makefile format, making the line
+above a comment). When the .config file is read back in, this line will be
+treated the same as the following assignment:
+
+    CONFIG_FOO=n
+
+In Kconfiglib, the set of (currently) assignable values for a bool/tristate
+symbol appear in Symbol.assignable. For other symbol types, just check if
+sym.visibility is non-0 (non-n) to see whether the user value will have an
+effect.
+
+
+Intro to the menu tree
+======================
+
+The menu structure, as seen in e.g. menuconfig, is represented by a tree of
+MenuNode objects. The top node of the configuration corresponds to an implicit
+top-level menu, the title of which is shown at the top in the standard
+menuconfig interface. (The title is also available in Kconfig.mainmenu_text in
+Kconfiglib.)
+
+The top node is found in Kconfig.top_node. From there, you can visit child menu
+nodes by following the 'list' pointer, and any following menu nodes by
+following the 'next' pointer. Usually, a non-None 'list' pointer indicates a
+menu or Choice, but menu nodes for symbols can sometimes have a non-None 'list'
+pointer too due to submenus created implicitly from dependencies.
+
+MenuNode.item is either a Symbol or a Choice object, or one of the constants
+MENU and COMMENT. The prompt of the menu node can be found in MenuNode.prompt,
+which also holds the title for menus and comments. For Symbol and Choice,
+MenuNode.help holds the help text (if any, otherwise None).
+
+Most symbols will only have a single menu node. A symbol defined in multiple
+locations will have one menu node for each location. The list of menu nodes for
+a Symbol or Choice can be found in the Symbol/Choice.nodes attribute.
+
+Note that prompts and help texts for symbols and choices are stored in their
+menu node(s) rather than in the Symbol or Choice objects themselves. This makes
+it possible to define a symbol in multiple locations with a different prompt or
+help text in each location. To get the help text or prompt for a symbol with a
+single menu node, do sym.nodes[0].help and sym.nodes[0].prompt, respectively.
+The prompt is a (text, condition) tuple, where condition determines the
+visibility (see 'Intro to expressions' below).
+
+This organization mirrors the C implementation. MenuNode is called
+'struct menu' there, but I thought "menu" was a confusing name.
+
+It is possible to give a Choice a name and define it in multiple locations,
+hence why Choice.nodes is also a list.
+
+As a convenience, the properties added at a particular definition location are
+available on the MenuNode itself, in e.g. MenuNode.defaults. This is helpful
+when generating documentation, so that symbols/choices defined in multiple
+locations can be shown with the correct properties at each location.
+
+
+Intro to expressions
+====================
+
+Expressions can be evaluated with the expr_value() function and printed with
+the expr_str() function (these are used internally as well). Evaluating an
+expression always yields a tristate value, where n, m, and y are represented as
+0, 1, and 2, respectively.
+
+The following table should help you figure out how expressions are represented.
+A, B, C, ... are symbols (Symbol instances), NOT is the kconfiglib.NOT
+constant, etc.
+
+Expression            Representation
+----------            --------------
+A                     A
+"A"                   A (constant symbol)
+!A                    (NOT, A)
+A && B                (AND, A, B)
+A && B && C           (AND, A, (AND, B, C))
+A || B                (OR, A, B)
+A || (B && C && D)    (OR, A, (AND, B, (AND, C, D)))
+A = B                 (EQUAL, A, B)
+A != "foo"            (UNEQUAL, A, foo (constant symbol))
+A && B = C && D       (AND, A, (AND, (EQUAL, B, C), D))
+n                     Kconfig.n (constant symbol)
+m                     Kconfig.m (constant symbol)
+y                     Kconfig.y (constant symbol)
+"y"                   Kconfig.y (constant symbol)
+
+Strings like "foo" in 'default "foo"' or 'depends on SYM = "foo"' are
+represented as constant symbols, so the only values that appear in expressions
+are symbols***. This mirrors the C implementation.
+
+***For choice symbols, the parent Choice will appear in expressions as well,
+but it's usually invisible as the value interfaces of Symbol and Choice are
+identical. This mirrors the C implementation and makes different choice modes
+"just work".
+
+Manual evaluation examples:
+
+  - The value of A && B is min(A.tri_value, B.tri_value)
+
+  - The value of A || B is max(A.tri_value, B.tri_value)
+
+  - The value of !A is 2 - A.tri_value
+
+  - The value of A = B is 2 (y) if A.str_value == B.str_value, and 0 (n)
+    otherwise. Note that str_value is used here instead of tri_value.
+
+    For constant (as well as undefined) symbols, str_value matches the name of
+    the symbol. This mirrors the C implementation and explains why
+    'depends on SYM = "foo"' above works as expected.
+
+n/m/y are automatically converted to the corresponding constant symbols
+"n"/"m"/"y" (Kconfig.n/m/y) during parsing.
+
+Kconfig.const_syms is a dictionary like Kconfig.syms but for constant symbols.
+
+If a condition is missing (e.g., <cond> when the 'if <cond>' is removed from
+'default A if <cond>'), it is actually Kconfig.y. The standard __str__()
+functions just avoid printing 'if y' conditions to give cleaner output.
+
+
+Kconfig extensions
+==================
+
+Kconfiglib implements two Kconfig extensions related to 'source':
+
+'source' with relative path
+---------------------------
+
+Kconfiglib supports a custom 'rsource' statement that sources Kconfig files
+with a path relative to directory of the Kconfig file containing the 'rsource'
+statement, instead of relative to the project root. This extension is not
+supported by Linux kernel tools as of writing.
+
+Consider following directory tree:
+
+  Project
+  +--Kconfig
+  |
+  +--src
+     +--Kconfig
+     |
+     +--SubSystem1
+        +--Kconfig
+        |
+        +--ModuleA
+           +--Kconfig
+
+In this example, assume that src/SubSystem1/Kconfig wants to source
+src/SubSystem1/ModuleA/Kconfig.
+
+With 'source', the following statement would be used:
+
+  source "src/SubSystem1/ModuleA/Kconfig"
+
+Using 'rsource', it can be rewritten as:
+
+  rsource "ModuleA/Kconfig"
+
+If an absolute path is given to 'rsource', it acts the same as 'source'.
+
+'rsource' can be used to create "position-independent" Kconfig trees that can
+be moved around freely.
+
+
+Globbed sourcing
+----------------
+
+'source' and 'rsource' accept glob patterns, sourcing all matching Kconfig
+files. They require at least one matching file, throwing a KconfigError
+otherwise.
+
+For example, the following statement might source sub1/foofoofoo and
+sub2/foobarfoo:
+
+  source "sub[12]/foo*foo"
+
+The glob patterns accepted are the same as for the standard glob.glob()
+function.
+
+Two additional statements are provided for cases where it's acceptable for a
+pattern to match no files: 'osource' and 'orsource' (the o is for "optional").
+
+For example, the following statements will be no-ops if neither "foo" nor any
+files matching "bar*" exist:
+
+  osource "foo"
+  osource "bar*"
+
+'orsource' does a relative optional source.
+
+'source' and 'osource' are analogous to 'include' and '-include' in Make.

+class Kconfig(object):
+    """
+    Represents a Kconfig configuration, e.g. for x86 or ARM. This is the set of
+    symbols, choices, and menu nodes appearing in the configuration. Creating
+    any number of Kconfig objects (including for different architectures) is
+    safe. Kconfiglib doesn't keep any global state.
+
+    The following attributes are available. They should be treated as
+    read-only, and some are implemented through @property magic.
+
+    syms:
+      A dictionary with all symbols in the configuration, indexed by name. Also
+      includes all symbols that are referenced in expressions but never
+      defined, except for constant (quoted) symbols.
+
+      Undefined symbols can be recognized by Symbol.nodes being empty -- see
+      the 'Intro to the menu tree' section in the module docstring.
+
+    const_syms:
+      A dictionary like 'syms' for constant (quoted) symbols
+
+    named_choices:
+      A dictionary like 'syms' for named choices (choice FOO)
+
+    defined_syms:
+      A list with all defined symbols, in the same order as they appear in the
+      Kconfig files. Symbols defined in multiple locations appear multiple
+      times.
+
+      Note: You probably want to use 'unique_defined_syms' instead. This
+      attribute is mostly maintained for backwards compatibility.
+
+    unique_defined_syms:
+      A list like 'defined_syms', but with duplicates removed. Just the first
+      instance is kept for symbols defined in multiple locations. Kconfig order
+      is preserved otherwise.
+
+      Using this attribute instead of 'defined_syms' can save work, and
+      automatically gives reasonable behavior when writing configuration output
+      (symbols defined in multiple locations only generate output once, while
+      still preserving Kconfig order for readability).
+
+    choices:
+      A list with all choices, in the same order as they appear in the Kconfig
+      files.
+
+      Note: You probably want to use 'unique_choices' instead. This attribute
+      is mostly maintained for backwards compatibility.
+
+    unique_choices:
+      Analogous to 'unique_defined_syms', for choices. Named choices can have
+      multiple definition locations.
+
+    menus:
+      A list with all menus, in the same order as they appear in the Kconfig
+      files
+
+    comments:
+      A list with all comments, in the same order as they appear in the Kconfig
+      files
+
+    kconfig_filenames:
+      A list with the filenames of all Kconfig files included in the
+      configuration, relative to $srctree (or relative to the current directory
+      if $srctree isn't set).
+
+      The files are listed in the order they are source'd, starting with the
+      top-level Kconfig file. If a file is source'd multiple times, it will
+      appear multiple times. Use set() to get unique filenames.
+
+      Note: Using this for incremental builds is redundant. Kconfig.sync_deps()
+      already indirectly catches any file modifications that change the
+      configuration output.
+
+    env_vars:
+      A set() with the names of all environment variables referenced in the
+      Kconfig files.
+
+      Only environment variables referenced with the preprocessor $(FOO) syntax
+      will be registered. The older $FOO syntax is only supported for backwards
+      compatibility.
+
+      Also note that $(FOO) won't be registered unless the environment variable
+      $FOO is actually set. If it isn't, $(FOO) is an expansion of an unset
+      preprocessor variable (which gives the empty string).
+
+      Another gotcha is that environment variables referenced in the values of
+      recursively expanded preprocessor variables (those defined with =) will
+      only be registered if the variable is actually used (expanded) somewhere.
+
+      The note from the 'kconfig_filenames' documentation applies here too.
+
+    n/m/y:
+      The predefined constant symbols n/m/y. Also available in const_syms.
+
+    modules:
+      The Symbol instance for the modules symbol. Currently hardcoded to
+      MODULES, which is backwards compatible. Kconfiglib will warn if
+      'option modules' is set on some other symbol. Tell me if you need proper
+      'option modules' support.
+
+      'modules' is never None. If the MODULES symbol is not explicitly defined,
+      its tri_value will be 0 (n), as expected.
+
+      A simple way to enable modules is to do 'kconf.modules.set_value(2)'
+      (provided the MODULES symbol is defined and visible). Modules are
+      disabled by default in the kernel Kconfig files as of writing, though
+      nearly all defconfig files enable them (with 'CONFIG_MODULES=y').
+
+    defconfig_list:
+      The Symbol instance for the 'option defconfig_list' symbol, or None if no
+      defconfig_list symbol exists. The defconfig filename derived from this
+      symbol can be found in Kconfig.defconfig_filename.
+
+    defconfig_filename:
+      The filename given by the defconfig_list symbol. This is taken from the
+      first 'default' with a satisfied condition where the specified file
+      exists (can be opened for reading). If a defconfig file foo/defconfig is
+      not found and $srctree was set when the Kconfig was created,
+      $srctree/foo/defconfig is looked up as well.
+
+      'defconfig_filename' is None if either no defconfig_list symbol exists,
+      or if the defconfig_list symbol has no 'default' with a satisfied
+      condition that specifies a file that exists.
+
+      Gotcha: scripts/kconfig/Makefile might pass --defconfig=<defconfig> to
+      scripts/kconfig/conf when running e.g. 'make defconfig'. This option
+      overrides the defconfig_list symbol, meaning defconfig_filename might not
+      always match what 'make defconfig' would use.
+
+    top_node:
+      The menu node (see the MenuNode class) of the implicit top-level menu.
+      Acts as the root of the menu tree.
+
+    mainmenu_text:
+      The prompt (title) of the top menu (top_node). Defaults to "Main menu".
+      Can be changed with the 'mainmenu' statement (see kconfig-language.txt).
+
+    variables:
+      A dictionary with all preprocessor variables, indexed by name. See the
+      Variable class.
+
+    warnings:
+      A list of strings containing all warnings that have been generated. This
+      allows flexibility in how warnings are printed and processed.
+
+      See the 'warn_to_stderr' parameter to Kconfig.__init__() and the
+      Kconfig.enable/disable_stderr_warnings() functions as well. Note that
+      warnings still get added to Kconfig.warnings when 'warn_to_stderr' is
+      True.
+
+      Just as for warnings printed to stderr, only optional warnings that are
+      enabled will get added to Kconfig.warnings. See the various
+      Kconfig.enable/disable_*_warnings() functions.
+
+    srctree:
+      The value of the $srctree environment variable when the configuration was
+      loaded, or the empty string if $srctree wasn't set. This gives nice
+      behavior with os.path.join(), which treats "" as the current directory,
+      without adding "./".
+
+      Kconfig files are looked up relative to $srctree (unless absolute paths
+      are used), and .config files are looked up relative to $srctree if they
+      are not found in the current directory. This is used to support
+      out-of-tree builds. The C tools use this environment variable in the same
+      way.
+
+      Changing $srctree after creating the Kconfig instance has no effect. Only
+      the value when the configuration is loaded matters. This avoids surprises
+      if multiple configurations are loaded with different values for $srctree.
+
+    config_prefix:
+      The value of the $CONFIG_ environment variable when the configuration was
+      loaded. This is the prefix used (and expected) on symbol names in .config
+      files and C headers. Defaults to "CONFIG_". Used in the same way in the C
+      tools.
+
+      Like for srctree, only the value of $CONFIG_ when the configuration is
+      loaded matters.

+        Creates a new Kconfig object by parsing Kconfig files. Raises
+        KconfigError on syntax errors. Note that Kconfig files are not the same
+        as .config files (which store configuration symbol values).
+
+        If the environment variable KCONFIG_STRICT is set to "y", warnings will
+        be generated for all references to undefined symbols within Kconfig
+        files. The reason this isn't the default is that some projects (e.g.
+        the Linux kernel) use multiple Kconfig trees (one per architecture)
+        with many shared Kconfig files, leading to some safe references to
+        undefined symbols.
+
+        KCONFIG_STRICT relies on literal hex values being prefixed with 0x/0X.
+        They are indistinguishable from references to undefined symbols
+        otherwise.
+
+        KCONFIG_STRICT might enable other warnings that depend on there being
+        just a single Kconfig tree in the future.
+
+        filename (default: "Kconfig"):
+          The Kconfig file to load. For the Linux kernel, you'll want "Kconfig"
+          from the top-level directory, as environment variables will make sure
+          the right Kconfig is included from there (arch/$SRCARCH/Kconfig as of
+          writing).
+
+          If $srctree is set, 'filename' will be looked up relative to it.
+          $srctree is also used to look up source'd files within Kconfig files.
+          See the class documentation.
+
+          If you are using Kconfiglib via 'make scriptconfig', the filename of
+          the base base Kconfig file will be in sys.argv[1]. It's currently
+          always "Kconfig" in practice.
+
+        warn (default: True):
+          True if warnings related to this configuration should be generated.
+          This can be changed later with Kconfig.enable/disable_warnings(). It
+          is provided as a constructor argument since warnings might be
+          generated during parsing.
+
+          See the other Kconfig.enable_*_warnings() functions as well, which
+          enable or suppress certain warnings when warnings are enabled.
+
+          All generated warnings are added to the Kconfig.warnings list. See
+          the class documentation.
+
+        warn_to_stderr (default: True):
+          True if warnings should be printed to stderr in addition to being
+          added to Kconfig.warnings.
+
+          This can be changed later with
+          Kconfig.enable/disable_stderr_warnings().
+
+        encoding (default: "utf-8"):
+          The encoding to use when reading and writing files. If None, the
+          encoding specified in the current locale will be used.
+
+          The "utf-8" default avoids exceptions on systems that are configured
+          to use the C locale, which implies an ASCII encoding.
+
+          This parameter has no effect on Python 2, due to implementation
+          issues (regular strings turning into Unicode strings, which are
+          distinct in Python 2). Python 2 doesn't decode regular strings
+          anyway.

+        Creates or updates a directory structure that can be used to avoid
+        doing a full rebuild whenever the configuration is changed, mirroring
+        include/config/ in the kernel.
+
+        This function is intended to be called during each build, before
+        compiling source files that depend on configuration symbols.
+
+        path:
+          Path to directory
+
+        sync_deps(path) does the following:
+
+          1. If the directory <path> does not exist, it is created.
+
+          2. If <path>/auto.conf exists, old symbol values are loaded from it,
+             which are then compared against the current symbol values. If a
+             symbol has changed value (would generate different output in
+             autoconf.h compared to before), the change is signaled by
+             touch'ing a file corresponding to the symbol.
+
+             The first time sync_deps() is run on a directory, <path>/auto.conf
+             won't exist, and no old symbol values will be available. This
+             logically has the same effect as updating the entire
+             configuration.
+
+             The path to a symbol's file is calculated from the symbol's name
+             by replacing all '_' with '/' and appending '.h'. For example, the
+             symbol FOO_BAR_BAZ gets the file <path>/foo/bar/baz.h, and FOO
+             gets the file <path>/foo.h.
+
+             This scheme matches the C tools. The point is to avoid having a
+             single directory with a huge number of files, which the underlying
+             filesystem might not handle well.
+
+          3. A new auto.conf with the current symbol values is written, to keep
+             track of them for the next build.
+
+
+        The last piece of the puzzle is knowing what symbols each source file
+        depends on. Knowing that, dependencies can be added from source files
+        to the files corresponding to the symbols they depends on. The source
+        file will then get recompiled (only) when the symbol value changes
+        (provided sync_deps() is run first during each build).
+
+        The tool in the kernel that extracts symbol dependencies from source
+        files is scripts/basic/fixdep.c. Missing symbol files also correspond
+        to "not changed", which fixdep deals with by using the $(wildcard) Make
+        function when adding symbol prerequisites to source files.
+
+        In case you need a different scheme for your project, the sync_deps()
+        implementation can be used as a template."""

+class Symbol(object):
+    """
+    Represents a configuration symbol:
+
+      (menu)config FOO
+          ...
+
+    The following attributes are available. They should be viewed as read-only,
+    and some are implemented through @property magic (but are still efficient
+    to access due to internal caching).
+
+    Note: Prompts, help texts, and locations are stored in the Symbol's
+    MenuNode(s) rather than in the Symbol itself. Check the MenuNode class and
+    the Symbol.nodes attribute. This organization matches the C tools.
+
+    name:
+      The name of the symbol, e.g. "FOO" for 'config FOO'.
+
+    type:
+      The type of the symbol. One of BOOL, TRISTATE, STRING, INT, HEX, UNKNOWN.
+      UNKNOWN is for undefined symbols, (non-special) constant symbols, and
+      symbols defined without a type.
+
+      When running without modules (MODULES having the value n), TRISTATE
+      symbols magically change type to BOOL. This also happens for symbols
+      within choices in "y" mode. This matches the C tools, and makes sense for
+      menuconfig-like functionality.
+
+    orig_type:
+      The type as given in the Kconfig file, without any magic applied. Used
+      when printing the symbol.
+
+    str_value:
+      The value of the symbol as a string. Gives the value for string/int/hex
+      symbols. For bool/tristate symbols, gives "n", "m", or "y".
+
+      This is the symbol value that's used in relational expressions
+      (A = B, A != B, etc.)
+
+      Gotcha: For int/hex symbols, the exact format of the value must often be
+      preserved (e.g., when writing a .config file), hence why you can't get it
+      directly as an int. Do int(int_sym.str_value) or
+      int(hex_sym.str_value, 16) to get the integer value.
+
+    tri_value:
+      The tristate value of the symbol as an integer. One of 0, 1, 2,
+      representing n, m, y. Always 0 (n) for non-bool/tristate symbols.
+
+      This is the symbol value that's used outside of relation expressions
+      (A, !A, A && B, A || B).
+
+    assignable:
+      A tuple containing the tristate user values that can currently be
+      assigned to the symbol (that would be respected), ordered from lowest (0,
+      representing n) to highest (2, representing y). This corresponds to the
+      selections available in the menuconfig interface. The set of assignable
+      values is calculated from the symbol's visibility and selects/implies.
+
+      Returns the empty set for non-bool/tristate symbols and for symbols with
+      visibility n. The other possible values are (0, 2), (0, 1, 2), (1, 2),
+      (1,), and (2,). A (1,) or (2,) result means the symbol is visible but
+      "locked" to m or y through a select, perhaps in combination with the
+      visibility. menuconfig represents this as -M- and -*-, respectively.
+
+      For string/hex/int symbols, check if Symbol.visibility is non-0 (non-n)
+      instead to determine if the value can be changed.
+
+      Some handy 'assignable' idioms:
+
+        # Is 'sym' an assignable (visible) bool/tristate symbol?
+        if sym.assignable:
+            # What's the highest value it can be assigned? [-1] in Python
+            # gives the last element.
+            sym_high = sym.assignable[-1]
+
+            # The lowest?
+            sym_low = sym.assignable[0]
+
+            # Can the symbol be set to at least m?
+            if sym.assignable[-1] >= 1:
+                ...
+
+        # Can the symbol be set to m?
+        if 1 in sym.assignable:
+            ...
+
+    visibility:
+      The visibility of the symbol. One of 0, 1, 2, representing n, m, y. See
+      the module documentation for an overview of symbol values and visibility.
+
+    user_value:
+      The user value of the symbol. None if no user value has been assigned
+      (via Kconfig.load_config() or Symbol.set_value()).
+
+      Holds 0, 1, or 2 for bool/tristate symbols, and a string for the other
+      symbol types.
+
+      WARNING: Do not assign directly to this. It will break things. Use
+      Symbol.set_value().
+
+    config_string:
+      The .config assignment string that would get written out for the symbol
+      by Kconfig.write_config(). Returns the empty string if no .config
+      assignment would get written out. In general, visible symbols, symbols
+      with (active) defaults, and selected symbols get written out.
+
+    nodes:
+      A list of MenuNodes for this symbol. Will contain a single MenuNode for
+      most symbols. Undefined and constant symbols have an empty nodes list.
+      Symbols defined in multiple locations get one node for each location.
+
+    choice:
+      Holds the parent Choice for choice symbols, and None for non-choice
+      symbols. Doubles as a flag for whether a symbol is a choice symbol.
+
+    defaults:
+      List of (default, cond) tuples for the symbol's 'default' properties. For
+      example, 'default A && B if C || D' is represented as
+      ((AND, A, B), (OR, C, D)). If no condition was given, 'cond' is
+      self.kconfig.y.
+
+      Note that 'depends on' and parent dependencies are propagated to
+      'default' conditions.
+
+    selects:
+      List of (symbol, cond) tuples for the symbol's 'select' properties. For
+      example, 'select A if B && C' is represented as (A, (AND, B, C)). If no
+      condition was given, 'cond' is self.kconfig.y.
+
+      Note that 'depends on' and parent dependencies are propagated to 'select'
+      conditions.
+
+    implies:
+      Like 'selects', for imply.
+
+    ranges:
+      List of (low, high, cond) tuples for the symbol's 'range' properties. For
+      example, 'range 1 2 if A' is represented as (1, 2, A). If there is no
+      condition, 'cond' is self.config.y.
+
+      Note that 'depends on' and parent dependencies are propagated to 'range'
+      conditions.
+
+      Gotcha: 1 and 2 above will be represented as (undefined) Symbols rather
+      than plain integers. Undefined symbols get their name as their string
+      value, so this works out. The C tools work the same way.
+
+    rev_dep:
+      Reverse dependency expression from other symbols selecting this symbol.
+      Multiple selections get ORed together. A condition on a select is ANDed
+      with the selecting symbol.
+
+      For example, if A has 'select FOO' and B has 'select FOO if C', then
+      FOO's rev_dep will be (OR, A, (AND, B, C)).
+
+    weak_rev_dep:
+      Like rev_dep, for imply.
+
+    direct_dep:
+      The 'depends on' dependencies. If a symbol is defined in multiple
+      locations, the dependencies at each location are ORed together.
+
+      Internally, this is used to implement 'imply', which only applies if the
+      implied symbol has expr_value(self.direct_dep) != 0. 'depends on' and
+      parent dependencies are automatically propagated to the conditions of
+      properties, so normally it's redundant to check the direct dependencies.
+
+    referenced:
+      A set() with all symbols and choices referenced in the properties and
+      property conditions of the symbol.
+
+      Also includes dependencies inherited from surrounding menus and if's.
+      Choices appear in the dependencies of choice symbols.
+
+    env_var:
+      If the Symbol has an 'option env="FOO"' option, this contains the name
+      ("FOO") of the environment variable. None for symbols without no
+      'option env'.
+
+      'option env="FOO"' acts like a 'default' property whose value is the
+      value of $FOO.
+
+      Symbols with 'option env' are never written out to .config files, even if
+      they are visible. env_var corresponds to a flag called SYMBOL_AUTO in the
+      C implementation.
+
+    is_allnoconfig_y:
+      True if the symbol has 'option allnoconfig_y' set on it. This has no
+      effect internally (except when printing symbols), but can be checked by
+      scripts.
+
+    is_constant:
+      True if the symbol is a constant (quoted) symbol.
+
+    kconfig:
+      The Kconfig instance this symbol is from.

+class Choice(object):
+    """
+    Represents a choice statement:
+
+      choice
+          ...
+      endchoice
+
+    The following attributes are available on Choice instances. They should be
+    treated as read-only, and some are implemented through @property magic (but
+    are still efficient to access due to internal caching).
+
+    Note: Prompts, help texts, and locations are stored in the Choice's
+    MenuNode(s) rather than in the Choice itself. Check the MenuNode class and
+    the Choice.nodes attribute. This organization matches the C tools.
+
+    name:
+      The name of the choice, e.g. "FOO" for 'choice FOO', or None if the
+      Choice has no name. I can't remember ever seeing named choices in
+      practice, but the C tools support them too.
+
+    type:
+      The type of the choice. One of BOOL, TRISTATE, UNKNOWN. UNKNOWN is for
+      choices defined without a type where none of the contained symbols have a
+      type either (otherwise the choice inherits the type of the first symbol
+      defined with a type).
+
+      When running without modules (CONFIG_MODULES=n), TRISTATE choices
+      magically change type to BOOL. This matches the C tools, and makes sense
+      for menuconfig-like functionality.
+
+    orig_type:
+      The type as given in the Kconfig file, without any magic applied. Used
+      when printing the choice.
+
+    tri_value:
+      The tristate value (mode) of the choice. A choice can be in one of three
+      modes:
+
+        0 (n) - The choice is disabled and no symbols can be selected. For
+                visible choices, this mode is only possible for choices with
+                the 'optional' flag set (see kconfig-language.txt).
+
+        1 (m) - Any number of choice symbols can be set to m, the rest will
+                be n.
+
+        2 (y) - One symbol will be y, the rest n.
+
+      Only tristate choices can be in m mode. The visibility of the choice is
+      an upper bound on the mode, and the mode in turn is an upper bound on the
+      visibility of the choice symbols.
+
+      To change the mode, use Choice.set_value().
+
+      Implementation note:
+        The C tools internally represent choices as a type of symbol, with
+        special-casing in many code paths. This is why there is a lot of
+        similarity to Symbol. The value (mode) of a choice is really just a
+        normal symbol value, and an implicit reverse dependency forces its
+        lower bound to m for visible non-optional choices (the reverse
+        dependency is 'm && <visibility>').
+
+        Symbols within choices get the choice propagated as a dependency to
+        their properties. This turns the mode of the choice into an upper bound
+        on e.g. the visibility of choice symbols, and explains the gotcha
+        related to printing choice symbols mentioned in the module docstring.
+
+        Kconfiglib uses a separate Choice class only because it makes the code
+        and interface less confusing (especially in a user-facing interface).
+        Corresponding attributes have the same name in the Symbol and Choice
+        classes, for consistency and compatibility.
+
+    assignable:
+      See the symbol class documentation. Gives the assignable values (modes).
+
+    visibility:
+      See the Symbol class documentation. Acts on the value (mode).
+
+    selection:
+      The Symbol instance of the currently selected symbol. None if the Choice
+      is not in y mode or has no selected symbol (due to unsatisfied
+      dependencies on choice symbols).
+
+      WARNING: Do not assign directly to this. It will break things. Call
+      sym.set_value(2) on the choice symbol you want to select instead.
+
+    user_value:
+      The value (mode) selected by the user through Choice.set_value(). Either
+      0, 1, or 2, or None if the user hasn't selected a mode. See
+      Symbol.user_value.
+
+      WARNING: Do not assign directly to this. It will break things. Use
+      Choice.set_value() instead.
+
+    user_selection:
+      The symbol selected by the user (by setting it to y). Ignored if the
+      choice is not in y mode, but still remembered so that the choice "snaps
+      back" to the user selection if the mode is changed back to y. This might
+      differ from 'selection' due to unsatisfied dependencies.
+
+      WARNING: Do not assign directly to this. It will break things. Call
+      sym.set_value(2) on the choice symbol to be selected instead.
+
+    syms:
+      List of symbols contained in the choice.
+
+      Gotcha: If a symbol depends on the previous symbol within a choice so
+      that an implicit menu is created, it won't be a choice symbol, and won't
+      be included in 'syms'. There are real-world examples of this, and it was
+      a PITA to support in older versions of Kconfiglib that didn't implement
+      the menu structure.
+
+    nodes:
+      A list of MenuNodes for this choice. In practice, the list will probably
+      always contain a single MenuNode, but it is possible to give a choice a
+      name and define it in multiple locations (I've never even seen a named
+      choice though).
+
+    defaults:
+      List of (symbol, cond) tuples for the choice's 'defaults' properties. For
+      example, 'default A if B && C' is represented as (A, (AND, B, C)). If
+      there is no condition, 'cond' is self.config.y.
+
+      Note that 'depends on' and parent dependencies are propagated to
+      'default' conditions.
+
+    direct_dep:
+      See Symbol.direct_dep.

+    Represents a menu node in the configuration. This corresponds to an entry
+    in e.g. the 'make menuconfig' interface, though non-visible choices, menus,
+    and comments also get menu nodes. If a symbol or choice is defined in
+    multiple locations, it gets one menu node for each location.
+
+    The top-level menu node, corresponding to the implicit top-level menu, is
+    available in Kconfig.top_node.
+
+    The menu nodes for a Symbol or Choice can be found in the
+    Symbol/Choice.nodes attribute. Menus and comments are represented as plain
+    menu nodes, with their text stored in the prompt attribute (prompt[0]).
+    This mirrors the C implementation.
+
+    The following attributes are available on MenuNode instances. They should
+    be viewed as read-only.
+
+    item:
+      Either a Symbol, a Choice, or one of the constants MENU and COMMENT.
+      Menus and comments are represented as plain menu nodes. Ifs are collapsed
+      (matching the C implementation) and do not appear in the final menu tree.
+
+    next:
+      The following menu node. None if there is no following node.
+
+    list:
+      The first child menu node. None if there are no children.
+
+      Choices and menus naturally have children, but Symbols can also have
+      children because of menus created automatically from dependencies (see
+      kconfig-language.txt).
+
+    parent:
+      The parent menu node. None if there is no parent.
+
+    prompt:
+      A (string, cond) tuple with the prompt for the menu node and its
+      conditional expression (which is self.kconfig.y if there is no
+      condition). None if there is no prompt.
+
+      For symbols and choices, the prompt is stored in the MenuNode rather than
+      the Symbol or Choice instance. For menus and comments, the prompt holds
+      the text.
+
+    defaults:
+      The 'default' properties for this particular menu node. See
+      symbol.defaults.
+
+      When evaluating defaults, you should use Symbol/Choice.defaults instead,
+      as it include properties from all menu nodes (a symbol/choice can have
+      multiple definition locations/menu nodes). MenuNode.defaults is meant for
+      documentation generation.
+
+    selects:
+      Like MenuNode.defaults, for selects.
+
+    implies:
+      Like MenuNode.defaults, for implies.
+
+    ranges:
+      Like MenuNode.defaults, for ranges.
+
+    help:
+      The help text for the menu node for Symbols and Choices. None if there is
+      no help text. Always stored in the node rather than the Symbol or Choice.
+      It is possible to have a separate help text at each location if a symbol
+      is defined in multiple locations.
+
+    dep:
+      The 'depends on' dependencies for the menu node, or self.kconfig.y if
+      there are no dependencies. Parent dependencies are propagated to this
+      attribute, and this attribute is then in turn propagated to the
+      properties of symbols and choices.
+
+      If a symbol or choice is defined in multiple locations, only the
+      properties defined at a particular location get the corresponding
+      MenuNode.dep dependencies propagated to them.
+
+    visibility:
+      The 'visible if' dependencies for the menu node (which must represent a
+      menu), or self.kconfig.y if there are no 'visible if' dependencies.
+      'visible if' dependencies are recursively propagated to the prompts of
+      symbols and choices within the menu.
+
+    referenced:
+      A set() with all symbols and choices referenced in the properties and
+      property conditions of the menu node.
+
+      Also includes dependencies inherited from surrounding menus and if's.
+      Choices appear in the dependencies of choice symbols.
+
+    is_menuconfig:
+      Set to True if the children of the menu node should be displayed in a
+      separate menu. This is the case for the following items:
+
+        - Menus (node.item == MENU)
+
+        - Choices
+
+        - Symbols defined with the 'menuconfig' keyword. The children come from
+          implicitly created submenus, and should be displayed in a separate
+          menu rather than being indented.
+
+      'is_menuconfig' is just a hint on how to display the menu node. It's
+      ignored internally by Kconfiglib, except when printing symbols.
+
+    filename/linenr:
+      The location where the menu node appears. The filename is relative to
+      $srctree (or to the current directory if $srctree isn't set), except
+      absolute paths passed to 'source' and Kconfig.__init__() are preserved.
+
+    include_path:
+      A tuple of (filename, linenr) tuples, giving the locations of the
+      'source' statements via which the Kconfig file containing this menu node
+      was included. The first element is the location of the 'source' statement
+      in the top-level Kconfig file passed to Kconfig.__init__(), etc.
+
+      Note that the Kconfig file of the menu node itself isn't included. Check
+      'filename' and 'linenr' for that.

+Overview
+========
+
+pymenuconfig is a small and simple frontend to Kconfiglib that's written
+entirely in Python using Tkinter as its GUI toolkit.
+
+Motivation
+==========
+
+Kconfig is a nice and powerful framework for build-time configuration and lots
+of projects already benefit from using it. Kconfiglib allows to utilize power of
+Kconfig by using scripts written in pure Python, without requiring one to build
+Linux kernel tools written in C (this can be quite tedious on anything that's
+not *nix). The aim of this project is to implement simple and small Kconfiglib
+GUI frontend that runs on as much systems as possible.
+
+Tkinter GUI toolkit is a natural choice if portability is considered, as it's
+a part of Python standard library and is available virtually in every CPython
+installation.
+
+
+User interface
+==============
+
+I've tried to replicate look and fill of Linux kernel 'menuconfig' tool that
+many users are used to, including keyboard-oriented control and textual
+representation of menus with fixed-width font.
+
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+The pymenuconfig module is executable and parses command-line args, so the
+most simple way to run menuconfig is to execute script directly:
+
+  python pymenuconfig.py --kconfig Kconfig
+
+As with most command-line tools list of options can be obtained with '--help':
+
+  python pymenuconfig.py --help
+
+If installed with setuptools, one can run it like this:
+
+  python -m pymenuconfig --kconfig Kconfig
+
+In case you're making a wrapper around menuconfig, you can either call main():
+
+  import pymenuconfig
+  pymenuconfig.main(['--kconfig', 'Kconfig'])
+
+Or import MenuConfig class, instantiate it and manually run Tkinter's mainloop:
+
+  import tkinter
+  import kconfiglib
+  from pymenuconfig import MenuConfig
+
+  kconfig = kconfiglib.Kconfig()
+  mconf = MenuConfig(kconfig)
+  tkinter.mainloop()

+    Represents visible menu node and holds all information related to displaying
+    menu node in a Listbox.
+
+    Instances of this class also handle all interaction with main window.
+    A node is displayed as a single line of text:
+      PREFIX INDENT BODY POSTFIX
+    - The PREFIX is always 3 characters or more and can take following values:
+      '   ' comment, menu, bool choice, etc.
+      Inside menus:
+      '< >' bool symbol has value 'n'
+      '<*>' bool symbol has value 'y'
+      '[ ]' tristate symbol has value 'n'
+      '[M]' tristate symbol has value 'm'

+      '- -' symbol has value 'n' that's not editable
+      '-M-' symbol has value 'm' that's not editable
+      '-*-' symbol has value 'y' that's not editable
+      '(M)' tristate choice has value 'm'
+      '(*)' tristate choice has value 'y'
+      '(some value)' value of non-bool/tristate symbols
+      Inside choices:
+      '( )' symbol has value 'n'
+      '(M)' symbol has value 'm'
+      '(*)' symbol has value 'y'
+    - INDENT is a sequence of space characters. It's used in implicit menus, and
+      adds 2 spaces for each nesting level
+    - BODY is a menu node prompt. '***' is added if node is a comment
+    - POSTFIX adds '(NEW)', '--->' and selected choice symbol where applicable

+      String to display in a main window's Listbox.

+      Updates .visible and .text attribute values.
+
+    set_tristate_value():
+      Set value for bool/tristate symbols, value should be one of 0,1,2 or None.
+      Usually it's called when user presses 'y', 'n', 'm' key.
+
+    set_str_value():
+      Set value for non-bool/tristate symbols, value is a string. Usually called
+      with a value returned by one of MenuConfig.ask_for_* methods.
+
+    toggle():
+      Toggle bool/tristate symbol value. Called when '<Space>' key is pressed in
+      a main window. Also selects choice value.
+
+    select():
+      Called when '<Return>' key is pressed in a main window with 'SELECT'
+      action selected. Displays submenu, choice selection menu, or just selects
+      choice value. For non-bool/tristate symbols asks MenuConfig window to
+      handle value input via one of MenuConfig.ask_for_* methods.
+
+    show_help():
+      Called when '<Return>' key is pressed in a main window with 'HELP' action
+      selected. Prepares text help and calls MenuConfig.show_text() to display
