    This class provides a simplified API to create virtual directories of playable items
    for Kodi content plugins.
    :class:`simpleplugin.Plugin` uses a concept of callable plugin actions (functions or methods)
    that are defined using :meth:`Plugin.action` decorator.
    A Plugin instance must have at least one action that is named ``'root'``.

    Minimal example:

    .. code-block:: python

        from simpleplugin import Plugin

        plugin = Plugin()

        @plugin.action()
        def root(params):  # Mandatory item!

                    'url': plugin.get_url(action='some_action', param='Bar')}]

        def some_action(params):
            return [{'label': params['param']}]

        plugin.run()

    An action callable receives 1 parameter -- params.
    params is a dict-like object containing plugin call parameters (including action string)
    The action callable can return
    either a list/generator of dictionaries representing Kodi virtual directory items
    or a resolved playable path (:class:`str` or :obj:`unicode`) for Kodi to play.

    Example 1::

        @plugin.action()
        def list_action(params):
            listing = get_listing(params)  # Some external function to create listing
            return listing

    The ``listing`` variable is a Python list/generator of dict items.
    Example 2::

        @plugin.action()
        def play_action(params):
            path = get_path(params)  # Some external function to get a playable path
            return path

    Each dict item can contain the following properties:

    - label -- item's label (default: ``''``).
    - label2 -- item's label2 (default: ``''``).
    - thumb -- item's thumbnail (default: ``''``).
    - icon -- item's icon (default: ``''``).
    - path -- item's path (default: ``''``).
    - fanart -- item's fanart (optional).
    - art -- a dict containing all item's graphic (see :meth:`xbmcgui.ListItem.setArt` for more info) -- optional.
    - stream_info -- a dictionary of ``{stream_type: {param: value}}`` items
      (see :meth:`xbmcgui.ListItem.addStreamInfo`) -- optional.
    - info --  a dictionary of ``{media: {param: value}}`` items
      (see :meth:`xbmcgui.ListItem.setInfo`) -- optional
    - context_menu - a list that contains 2-item tuples ``('Menu label', 'Action')``.
      The items from the tuples are added to the item's context menu.
    - url -- a callback URL for this list item.
    - is_playable -- if ``True``, then this item is playable and must return a playable path or
     be resolved via :meth:`Plugin.resolve_url` (default: ``False``).
    - is_folder -- if ``True`` then the item will open a lower-level sub-listing. if ``False``,
      the item either is a playable media or a general-purpose script
      which neither creates a virtual folder nor points to a playable media (default: C{True}).
      if ``'is_playable'`` is set to ``True``, then ``'is_folder'`` value automatically assumed to be ``False``.
    - subtitles -- the list of paths to subtitle files (optional).
    - mime -- item's mime type (optional).
    - list_item -- an 'class:`xbmcgui.ListItem` instance (optional).
      It is used when you want to set all list item properties by yourself.
      If ``'list_item'`` property is present, all other properties,
      except for ``'url'`` and ``'is_folder'``, are ignored.
    - properties -- a dictionary of list item properties
      (see :meth:`xbmcgui.ListItem.setProperty`) -- optional.

    Example 3::

        listing = [{    'label': 'Label',
                        'label2': 'Label 2',
                        'thumb': 'thumb.png',
                        'icon': 'icon.png',
                        'fanart': 'fanart.jpg',
                        'art': {'clearart': 'clearart.png'},
                        'stream_info': {'video': {'codec': 'h264', 'duration': 1200},
                                        'audio': {'codec': 'ac3', 'language': 'en'}},
                        'info': {'video': {'genre': 'Comedy', 'year': 2005}},
                        'context_menu': [('Menu Item', 'Action')],
                        'url': 'plugin:/plugin.video.test/?action=play',
                        'is_playable': True,
                        'is_folder': False,
                        'subtitles': ['/path/to/subtitles.en.srt', '/path/to/subtitles.uk.srt'],
                        'mime': 'video/mp4'
                        }]

    Alternatively, an action callable can use :meth:`Plugin.create_listing` and :meth:`Plugin.resolve_url`
    static methods to pass additional parameters to Kodi.

    Example 4::

        @plugin.action()
        def list_action(params):
            listing = get_listing(params)  # Some external function to create listing
            return Plugin.create_listing(listing, sort_methods=(2, 10, 17), view_mode=500)

    Example 5::

        @plugin.action()
        def play_action(params):
            path = get_path(params)  # Some external function to get a playable path
            return Plugin.resolve_url(path, succeeded=True)

    If an action callable performs any actions other than creating a listing or
    resolving a playable URL, it must return ``None``.
