It seems odd that this has its own class/module… I would expect repository settings to be accessible through the Repository module
There is a separate module in the python api because there is a separate maximumpriority command in the REST api, and we were matching the modules to the REST api commands for consistency. We don’t have a general api method (or command line method for that matter) of changing repository options, but it is on the wishlist. Once we have that in place, we can deprecate the MaximumPriority module and its corresponding REST command.
Cheers,
