The underlying EntryPoint class has some similar methods to fetch these values, but they depend on the version of importlib.metadata that is installed, so this provides a consistent API Change-Id: I7a1b9541f0e4042a224e49c890ba3c63e8a5a259 Signed-off-by: Doug Hellmann <doug@doughellmann.com>
stevedore -- Manage dynamic plugins for Python applications
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.
