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.
