sjrct's route implementation

[sjrct]

This is a potential implementation. there are other options that are being discussed.

This flavor uses the '@' prefix to mark what is an is not a container or alias (an intermediary destination).

Example of routes key:

"routes": [
  { "@container": [ "module1", "module2" ]
  , "@container2": [ "@container", "secret-module" ]
  , "special-agent-1": "@container2"
  , "special-agent-2": "@container2"
  },
  { ".*": "@container"
  }
]

Coverage decreased (-0.2%) to 94.507% when pulling ed422ff on sjrct-routes into fa73d77 on master.

I pushed my (unfinished) branch to richteer-routes. Will maybe open a PR if I bother to finish it.

Notes from meeting: implement special case container @modules and @agents. Default route should be @agents -> @modules

[richteer]

Suggestion for the .route() function to reduce some indentation:

	def route(self, source, resolve_all=False):
		for d in self.config.get('routes', []):
			dest = []

			# Find all matching patterns of the same precedence level
			meep = [p for p in d if re.match(p, source)]
			if not meep:
				continue
			for pat in meep:
				raw = d[pat] if type(d[pat]) == list else [ d[pat] ]
				for ri in raw:
					name = ri.split('/')[0]
					if ri.startswith('@') and (resolve_all or not name in self.objects):
						# Resolve aliases
						dest.extend(self.route(ri))
					else:
						dest.append(ri)
			return dest

		return []

there is no way this is ever getting merged
