+class Dispatcher:
+ r"""Dispatcher([routes]) -> Dispatcher instance :: Command dispatcher
+
+ This class provides a modular and extensible dispatching mechanism. You
+ can specify root 'routes' (as a dict where the key is the string of the
+ root command and the value is a callable object to handle that command,
+ or a subcommand if the callable is an instance and the command can be
+ sub-routed).
+
+ The command can have arguments, separated by (any number of) spaces.
+
+ The dispatcher tries to route the command as deeply as it can, passing
+ the other "path" components as arguments to the callable. To route the
+ command it inspects the callable attributes to find a suitable callable
+ attribute to handle the command in a more specific way, and so on.
+
+ Example:
+ >>> d = Dispatcher(dict(handler=some_handler))
+ >>> d.dispatch('handler attribute method arg1 arg2')
+
+ If 'some_handler' is an object with an 'attribute' that is another
+ object which has a method named 'method', then
+ some_handler.attribute.method('arg1', 'arg2') will be called. If
+ some_handler is a function, then some_handler('attribute', 'method',
+ 'arg1', 'arg2') will be called. The handler "tree" can be as complex
+ and deep as you want.
+
+ If some command can't be dispatched (because there is no root handler or
+ there is no matching callable attribute), a CommandNotFoundError is raised.

-# Ideas / TODO:
-#
-# * Soportar comillas para argumentos con espacios y otros caracteres, onda:
-# 'misc set motd "Hola!\nEste es el servidor de garombia"'
-#
-# * Soportar keyword arguments, onda que:
-# 'dns set pepe=10.10.10.1 juan=10.10.10.2'
-# se mapee a algo como: dns.set(pepe='10.10.10.1', juan='10.10.10.2')
-#
-# Estas cosas quedan sujetas a necesitada y a definición del protocolo.
-# Para mí lo ideal es que el protocolo de red sea igual que la consola del
-# usuario, porque después de todo no va a ser más que eso, mandar comanditos.
-#
-# Por otro lado, el cliente de consola, por que no es el cliente web pero
-# accedido via ssh usando un navegador de texto como w3m???
