Connections API
***************

:class:`Connection`'s will be used to connect :class:`Device`'s with each other. It does not matter whether
the device is a :class:`Scenario` device or a :class:`Setup` device.

Every connection object has to inherit from the class :class:`Connection` directly. It is important to note that
the connection tree is not realized via the normal Python inheritance, but by an internal representation. More details
see :ref:`Connections`.

Basic ``Connection``
====================

The basic :class:`Connection` class is the master class of every connection. It can always be used as container for
your sub-tree connection too.
