[Pythius-developers] first aop.py

[Frank T. <ft...@ne...>]

I've finally finished what I would consider an alpha version of the aop.py
submodule.  It is documented, and has unittests for it.  Ideally, I'd like
to hear some comments on it, suggestions, etc, etc.  There are a couple of
advanced features I can think of, like complex pointcut definition like
AspectJ can do (e.g., 'caught exception within foobar() method), but for
right now, I think I have a workable alpha (oxymoron?).

The documentation can be viewed via pydoc, and is quite large (and
probably full of typos; I haven't proofread).  Actually, the documentation
is larger than the code, but given the complexity of the subject, I think
its appropriate.

I'd be glad to work with someone to try and get aop.py worked into Pythius
or even another project, for I'm sure that working with aop.py will
probably be a new, trying experience.

The whole module is quite small (225 lines including whitespace?), but the
key hindrance was finally figuring out what model I wanted.

To run the unittests simply run "python aop-unittests.py" (gives a small
report).  To run the doctest tests, run "python aop.py" (should return
empty)..
