stevedore release python
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
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?
- Ignore AssertionError exceptions generated when plugins are loaded.
- Update
NamedExtensionManagerto check the name of a plugin before loading its code to avoid importing anything we are not going to use.
