Allow user to disable default loading of object factory override methods in Python. This is primarily intended to assist in debug investigations where factory overrides are suspected of interfering with expected behavior.
Behavior can be configured in two lines:
With default factory loading disabled a developer is responsible for manually supplying any implementations of abstract classes that previously relied on factory instantiation. For example,
itk.ImageFileReaderrelies on factory overrides ofImageIOto read files based on their extension, so with no factories registered the developer must supply a suitableImageIOobject, i.e. :The
PythonNoDefaultFactoriestest is added to cover the scenario whereDefaultFactoryLoadingis set toFalse.DefaultFactoryLoadingisTrueby default and factory loading is covered by other tests.PR Checklist
