"""protocol        (David Scherer <dscherer@cmu.edu>)

     This module implements a simple RPC or "distributed object" protocol.
     I am probably the 100,000th person to write this in Python, but, hey,
     it was fun.

     Contents:

       connectionLost is an exception that will be thrown by functions in
           the protocol module or calls to remote methods that fail because
           the remote program has closed the socket or because no connection
           could be established in the first place.

       Server( port=None, connection_hook=None ) creates a server on a
           well-known port, to which clients can connect.  When a client
           connects, a Connection is created for it.  If connection_hook
           is defined, then connection_hook( socket.getpeername() ) is called
           before a Connection is created, and if it returns false then the
           connection is refused.  connection_hook must be prepared to be
           called from any thread.
  
       Client( ip='127.0.0.1', port=None ) returns a Connection to a Server
           object at a well-known address and port.
  
       Connection( socket ) creates an RPC connection on an arbitrary socket,
           which must already be connected to another program.  You do not
           need to use this directly if you are using Client() or Server().
  
       publish( name, connect_function ) provides an object with the
           specified name to some or all Connections.  When another program
           calls Connection.getobject() with the specified name, the
           specified connect_function is called with the arguments

              connect_function( conn, addr )

           where conn is the Connection object to the requesting client and
           addr is the address returned by socket.getpeername().  If that
           function returns an object, that object becomes accessible to
           the caller.  If it returns None, the caller's request fails.

     Connection objects:

       .close() refuses additional RPC messages from the peer, and notifies
           the peer that the connection has been closed.  All pending remote
           method calls in either program will fail with a connectionLost
           exception.  Further remote method calls on this connection will
           also result in errors.

       .getobject(name) returns a proxy for the remote object with the
           specified name, if it exists and the peer permits us access.
           Otherwise, it returns None.  It may throw a connectionLost
           exception.  The returned proxy supports basic attribute access
           and method calls, and its methods have an extra attribute,
           .void, which is a function that has the same effect but always
           returns None.  This last capability is provided as a performance
           hack: object.method.void(params) can return without waiting for
           the remote process to respond, but object.method(params) needs
           to wait for a return value or exception.

       .rpc_loop(block=0) processes *incoming* messages for this connection.
           If block=1, it continues processing until an exception or return
           value is received, which is normally forever.  Otherwise it
           returns when all currently pending messages have been delivered.
           It may throw a connectionLost exception.

       .set_close_hook(f) specifies a function to be called when the remote
           object closes the connection during a call to rpc_loop().  This
           is a good way for servers to be notified when clients disconnect.

       .set_shutdown_hook(f) specifies a function called *immediately* when
           the receive loop detects that the connection has been lost.  The
           provided function must be prepared to run in any thread.

     Server objects:

       .rpc_loop() processes incoming messages on all connections, and
           returns when all pending messages have been processed.  It will
           *not* throw connectionLost exceptions; the
           Connection.set_close_hook() mechanism is much better for servers.
