-Custom Plugins
-**************
-
-CherryPy allows you to extend startup, shutdown, and other behavior outside the
-request process via *Listeners* and *Plugins*. The
-:class:`cherrypy.engine<cherrypy.process.wspbus.Bus>` object controls
-these behaviors; to extend them, you subscribe listeners to the engine.
-These allow you to run functions at a particular point in the
-*site* process; for the *request* process, see :doc:`customtools` instead.
-
-Listeners
-=========
-
-The engine is a publish-subscribe service; event handlers publish to various
-*channels*, like "start", "stop", "exit", "graceful", or "log", and both
-CherryPy and you can subscribe *listeners* for those messages::
-
- engine.subscribe(channel, callback[, priority])
-
-channel
--------
-
-The channel is an event name:
-
- * start: the Engine is starting for the first time, or has been stopped and is
- now restarting; listeners here should start up sockets, files, or other
- services and not return until they are ready to be used by clients or
- other parts of the site.
- * stop: the Engine is stopping; plugins should cleanly stop what they are
- doing and not return until they have finished cleaning up. This is called
- by :func:`cherrypy.engine.stop<cherrypy.process.wspbus.Bus.stop>`, and
- plugins should make every effort to stop and clean up in a fashion that
- permits them to be restarted via a "start" listener.
- * graceful: advises all listeners to reload, e.g. by closing any open files
- and reopening them.
- * exit: this is called by
- :func:`cherrypy.engine.exit<cherrypy.process.wspbus.Bus.exit>`,
- and advises plugins to prepare for process termination. Note that
- :func:`cherrypy.engine.exit<cherrypy.process.wspbus.Bus.exit>` first calls
- :func:`cherrypy.engine.stop<cherrypy.process.wspbus.Bus.stop>`, so Plugins
- may expect to stop first, then exit in a separate step.
- * log(msg, level): in general, :class:`cherrypy.log<cherrypy._cplogging.LogManager>`
- listens on this channel. Plugins, however, should make every effort to
- publish to this channel verbosely to aid process event debugging. See the
- builtin Plugins for good examples.
- * main: New in 3.2. All Engine tasks run in threads other than the main thread;
- the main thread usually calls
- :func:`cherrypy.engine.block<cherrypy.process.wspbus.Bus.block>` to wait
- for KeyboardInterrupt and other signals. While blocked, it loops
- (every 1/10th of a second, by default), and publishes a message on the
- "main" channel each time. Listeners subscribed to this channel, therefore,
- are called at every interval.
-
-callback
---------
-
-The functionality you wish to run; this can be any function, class, or other
-callable. Each channel defines the arguments; currently, however, only the "log"
-channel defines any ('msg', the string message to log, and 'level', an int
-following the levels defined in the stdlib's :mod:`logging <logging>` module).
-
-priority
---------
-
-The optional priority (0 - 100) allows multiple listeners to run in the correct
-order. Lower numbers run first. The default is 50.
-
-If you omit the priority argument to engine.subscribe (or pass ``None``),
-you can instead set it as an attribute on the callback function::
-
- def setup_db():
- ....
- setup_db.priority = 90
- engine.subscribe('start', setup_db)
-
-
-Plugins
-=======
-
-You can manually subscribe bus listeners, but you probably shouldn't.
-*Plugins* allow your function to be subscribed and configured both
-via the CherryPy config system and via the Plugin itself. Plugins also allow
-you to write a single class that listens on multiple channels.
-
-Most of the built-in plugins have their own ``subscribe`` method,
-so that instead of writing ``engine.subscribe``, you write:
-``p = Plugin(engine).subscribe()``. If you want to turn off a plugin,
-call ``p.unsubscribe()``. The plugin already knows the correct channel,
-callback, and priority.
-
-You can run arbitrary code at any of the events by creating a
-SimplePlugin object, with one method for each *channel* you wish to handle::
-
- class ScratchDB(plugins.SimplePlugin):
-
- def start(self):
- self.fname = 'myapp_%d.db' % os.getpid()
- self.db = sqlite.connect(database=self.fname)
- start.priority = 80
-
- def stop(self):
- self.db.close()
- os.remove(self.fname)
- cherrypy.engine.scratchdb = ScratchDB(cherrypy.engine)
-
-...then, once you've authored your Plugin, turn it on by calling its
-``subscribe`` method::
-
- cherrypy.engine.scratchdb.subscribe()
-
-...or, in CherryPy 3.2 and above, in site config::
-
- [global]
- engine.scratchdb.on = True
-
-
-Priorities of the built-in "start" listeners:
-
