        LiberviaPages are the main resources of Libervia, using easy to set python files
        The non mandatory arguments are the variables found in page_meta.py
        @param host(Libervia): the running instance of Libervia
        @param vhost_root(web_resource.Resource): root resource of the virtual host which
            handle this page.
        @param root_dir(Path): absolute file path of the page
        @param url(unicode): relative URL to the page
            this URL may not be valid, as pages may require path arguments
        @param name(unicode, None): if not None, a unique name to identify the page
            can then be used for e.g. redirection
            "/" is not allowed in names (as it can be used to construct URL paths)
        @param redirect(unicode, None): if not None, this page will be redirected.
            A redirected parameter is used as in self.page_redirect.
            parse_url will not be skipped
            using this redirect parameter is called "full redirection"
            using self.page_redirect is called "partial redirection" (because some
            rendering method can still be used, e.g. parse_url)
        @param access(unicode, None): permission needed to access the page
            None means public access.
            Pages inherit from parent pages: e.g. if a "settings" page is restricted
            to admins, and if "settings/blog" is public, it still can only be accessed by
            admins. See C.PAGES_ACCESS_* for details
        @param dynamic(bool): if True, activate websocket for bidirectional communication
        @param parse_url(callable, None): if set it will be called to handle the URL path
            after this method, the page will be rendered if noting is left in path
            (request.postpath) else a the request will be transmitted to a subpage
        @param add_breadcrumb(callable, None): if set, manage the breadcrumb data for this
            page, otherwise it will be set automatically from page name or label.
        @param prepare_render(callable, None): if set, will be used to prepare the
            rendering. That often means gathering data using the bridge
        @param render(callable, None): if template is not set, this method will be
            called and what it returns will be rendered.
            This method is mutually exclusive with template and must return a unicode
            string.
        @param template(unicode, None): path to the template to render.
            This method is mutually exclusive with render
        @param on_data_post(callable, None): method to call when data is posted
            None if data post is not handled
            "continue" if data post is not handled there, and we must not interrupt
            workflow (i.e. it's handled in "render" method).
            otherwise, on_data_post can return a string with following value:
                - C.POST_NO_CONFIRM: confirm flag will not be set
            on_data_post can raise following exceptions:
                - exceptions.DataError: value is incorrect, message will be displayed
                    as a notification
        @param on_data(callable, None): method to call when dynamic data is sent
            this method is used with Libervia's websocket mechanism
        @param url_cache(boolean): if set, result of parse_url is cached (per profile).
            Useful when costly calls (e.g. network) are done while parsing URL.
        @param replace_on_conflict(boolean): if True, don't raise ConflictError if a
            page of this name already exists, but replace it
