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.
