Some projects (e.g. Neutron) using the DriverManager with another fallback mechanism when the alias doesn't exist don't want the "Could not load warning" messages in the logs. This patch allows the warn_on_missing_entrypoint kwarg to be passed to DriverManager which passes it up to its parent NamedExtensionManager. Change-Id: Ia6f5f749fc2f73ca6091fa6d58506fddb058902a
stevedore -- Manage dynamic plugins for Python applications
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
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.
