                DiscreteGene

Gene type with a fixed set of possible values, typically strings

Mutation behaviour is that the gene's value may spontaneously change into one of its alleles

Method Summary
	`__add__(self, other)` determines the phenotype, subject to dominance properties
	`mutate(self)` Change the gene's value into any of the possible alleles, subject to mutation probability 'self.mutProb'
	`randomValue(self)` returns a random allele
Inherited from BaseGene
	`__init__(self, value)`
	`__repr__(self)`
	`copy(self)` Produce an exact copy of this gene
	`maybeMutate(self)`
	`xmlDumpAttribs(self, tag)` sets attributes of tag
	`xmlDumpSelf(self, doc, parent)` dump out this gene into parent tag
Inherited from PGXmlMixin
	`xmlDump(self, fileobj)` Dumps out the population to an open file in XML format.
	`xmlDumpClass(self, tag)` dumps out class information
	`xmlDumps(self)` dumps out to xml, returning a string of the raw generated xml
Inherited from object
	`__delattr__(...)` x.__delattr__('name') <==> del x.name
	`__getattribute__(...)` x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name
	`__hash__(x)` x.__hash__() <==> hash(x)
	`__new__(T, S, ...)` T.__new__(S, ...) -> a new object with type S, a subtype of T
	`__reduce__(...)` helper for pickle
	`__reduce_ex__(...)` helper for pickle
	`__setattr__(...)` x.__setattr__('name', value) <==> x.name = value
	`__str__(x)` x.__str__() <==> str(x)

Method Details

determines the phenotype, subject to dominance properties

returns a tuple of effects

Change the gene's value into any of the possible alleles, subject to mutation probability 'self.mutProb'

perform mutation IN-PLACE, ie don't return mutated copy

returns a random allele
