Use the serializer mode to automatically serialize handlers results.
Handlers now don't have to worry about serialization. All they have to do
is return list of values (which can be lists or iterable object). Then the
PyminDaemon serialize them to UTF-8 encoded CSV strings and send them
through socket.
Add a decorator to mark which callables are exported by the dispatcher.
All callables which should handle a command should be maked with the
@handler decorator. This is for the sake of security, so users can't call
arbitrary python code (like a constructor).
The path where to store pickled configuration and generated config files
is configurable when constructing the instance.
If there's a pickled configuration it's automatically loaded at
construction time. If not, a new configuration based on defaults is dumped
to disk.
New methods are added: restart(), reload() and rollback() and DhcpHandler
is published in the services module and included in the pymin daemon
command tree.
This error is raised as a translation for the select.error, raised when
the system call is interrupted by a signal, so EventLoop users don't have
to know the details about the loop.
A complete example of a handler class. It uses mako for templates and (c)Pickle
for configuration persistence. There is some more work to be done (loading
pickled configuration and other details) but the class is pretty functional.
