# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| python3-stevedore: python3-stevedore (Manage dynamic plugins for Python applications) python3-stevedore: python3-stevedore: Python makes loading code dynamically easy, allowing you to configure python3-stevedore: and extend your application by discovering and loading extensions python3-stevedore: ("plugins") at runtime. Many applications implement their own python3-stevedore: library for doing this, using __import__ or importlib. stevedore python3-stevedore: avoids creating yet another extension mechanism by building on top python3-stevedore: of setuptools entry points. The code for managing entry points tends python3-stevedore: to be repetitive, though, so stevedore provides manager classes for python3-stevedore: implementing common patterns for using dynamically loaded extensions. python3-stevedore:
