SETTINGS_PREFIX for identifiers (e.g., db table names) incl. project's name.

kallithea.SETTINGS_PREFIX is a variable string used as a prefix for specific
external identifiers, such as database table names (and likely later form
fields), so that the name of the project need not necessarily be encoded into
data.

This setting is configurable so that compatibility with old, similar
databases can be maintained at the users' request.

Debugging Kallithea
===================

If you encountered problems with Kallithea here are some instructions how to
possibly debug them.

** First make sure you're using the latest version available.**

enable detailed debug
---------------------

Kallithea uses standard python logging modules to log it's output.
By default only loggers with INFO level are displayed. To enable full output
change `level = DEBUG` for all logging handlers in currently used .ini file.
This change will allow to see much more detailed output in the logfile or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.


enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out `set debug = false` in
.ini file, this will trigger and interactive debugger each time there an
error in browser, or send a http link if error occured in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy python console right
in the web view. ** NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION ** the interactive console
can be a serious security threat to you system.
