[Simpleweb-py-users] 0.7.1 - reloaded - API Break in config.py

[simpleweb-users <sim...@li...>]

Ok... you can tell i'm excited about this... I finally got Reloading 
working... had to really change some design around before 
memento.Assassin could help with the reloading.

Completed the 'config' object section of the Core Objects documentation 
on the site. http://simpleweb.essienitaessien.com/coreobjects

I'll have to put up the 'request' object section too.

0.7.1 is already on Cheeseshop.

I'll leave the code as it is for about a week to allow for stabilization 
and bug reports... there shouldn't be any bugs in deployment, but the 
reloading thing is quite a fragile thing in python, so there may be 
development stage bugs.

For the rest of the week, and most of next week, I'll be working on more 
documentation (and probably polishing the tutorial, so its a bit more 
structured and easier to follow? I saw comments on reddit that suggested 
that the tutorial wasn't very well written).

My next focus is goin to be on reducing the external dependencies needed 
to run install simpleweb. Its not going to be too easy, but I'm probably 
going to be shipping a distribution of simpleweb that comes with its 
core dependencies as part of it. This will be simple for things like 
selector, yaro, static, memento, resolver, but slightly difficult for 
things like SqlObject, SqlAlchemy, Cheetah. Anyways, I guess my work is 
cut out for me :)

ChangeLog 0.7.1 - API BREAK!!!
==============================
* API BREAK - config.py - host, port, user,
   group are now server_host, server_port,
   server_user, server_group

* Add default values for config.user and config.group
* Add some exception handling to make the
   user/group switching in the devserver more robust
* Add settings.Config.set_default_attr(), use this to clean up
   __init__.start(), default values are handled
   inside the object itself now.
* remove __init__.start() now redundant
* Change signature of plugins.runmethods functions. Now passing in
   urls and config for more loose-coupling.
* Default of config.host changed from '0.0.0.0'
   to '127.0.0.1' for security reasons.
* Corrected default value of config.user and
   config.guest (values where unquoted)
* Change internally used config.dirname to config.working_directory
* Use os.getcwd() to set config.working_directory, when   			 
settings.Config() is called. Formerlly was using
   config.__file__
* Filter out attributes special attributes
   (__file__, __cmd__, etc) from settings.Config() object
* Cleanup plugins/template.py to use config.working_directory
   as the Cheetah template base directory. Formerly guessing it with 
os.getcwd()
* Refactor out webserver.py from plugins.runmethods.development
* Add SimplewebReloadingApp()
* use memento.Assassin to call SimplewebReloadingApp(),
   now we can have internal server reloading if enabled
* Add new config key 'server_reload' to control internal server 
reloading default is True
