What is stevedore?
|
||||||
|
==================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Python makes loading code dynamically easy, allowing you to configure
|
||||||
|
and extend your application by discovering and loading extensions
|
||||||
|
("*plugins*") at runtime. Many applications implement their own
|
||||||
|
library for doing this, using ``__import__`` or
|
||||||
|
:mod:`importlib`. stevedore_ avoids creating yet another extension
|
||||||
|
mechanism by building on top of `setuptools entry points`_. The code
|
||||||
|
for managing entry points tends to be repetitive, though, so stevedore
|
||||||
|
provides manager classes for implementing common patterns for using
|
||||||
|
dynamically loaded extensions.

What's New?
|
||||||
|
===========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Added dispatch managers for selecting among a set of plugins at
|
||||||
|
runtime instead of load time.
