Subject: storage: Add 'load_config()' for those that don't want an AFM instance
X-Git-Tag: v0.5~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5cb9fcfd153afcb9f1d6d40958af00a16a87a458;p=pyafm.git

storage: Add 'load_config()' for those that don't want an AFM instance

For example, when setting up unfold-config, we may just want to load
the default configuration but don't need to control an experiment
quite yet.
