class lsst.sims.ocs.configuration.proposal.scheduling.Scheduling

Bases: lsst.pex.config.config.Config

!Allocate a new Config object.

This ensures that even if a derived Config class implements __init__, the author does not need to be concerned about when or even if he should call the base Config.__init__
