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. .. _setuptools entry points: http://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html?#entry-points * Free software: Apache license * Documentation: https://docs.openstack.org/stevedore/latest * Source: https://opendev.org/openstack/stevedore * Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-stevedore
