Python makes loading code dynamically easy, allowing you to configure

and extend your application by discovering and loading extensions

("*plugins*") at runtime. Many applications implement their own

library for doing this, using ``__import__`` or ``importlib``.

stevedore avoids creating yet another extension

mechanism by building on top of `setuptools entry points`_. The code

for managing entry points tends to be repetitive, though, so stevedore

provides manager classes for implementing common patterns for using

dynamically loaded extensions.
