Broker
======
Function dispatch in Python based on MIME Accept-* headers.
Initialize a broker with some dispatched-to functions matched against MIME
types::
>>> b = Broker()
>>> html_handler = b.add("text/html", lambda x: (1, x))
>>> xml_handler = b.add("application/xml", lambda x: (2, x))
>>> json_handler = b.add("application/json", lambda x: (3, x))
Select a backend function based on an Accept header::
>>> b.select("text/html") is html_handler
True
>>> b.select("text/html,application/json") is html_handler
True
>>> b.select("text/html;q=0.1,application/json") is json_handler
True
Call the backend function directly::
>>> b("text/html", 'hello')
(1, 'hello')
>>> b("text/html,application/json", 'world')
(2, 'world')
>>> b("text/html;q=0.1,application/json", 'json_stuff')
(3, 'json_stuff')
Underneath the hood, Broker uses `webob.acceptparse`_ to parse Accept headers
and match against your registered functions. More docs can be found at
http://broker.readthedocs.org/.
