"""Module for downloading files from a pool of mirrors
21
22
DESCRIPTION
23
24
  This module provides support for downloading files from a pool of
25
  mirrors with configurable failover policies.  To a large extent, the
26
  failover policy is chosen by using different classes derived from
27
  the main class, MirrorGroup.
28
29
  Instances of MirrorGroup (and cousins) act very much like URLGrabber
30
  instances in that they have urlread, urlgrab, and urlopen methods.
31
  They can therefore, be used in very similar ways.
32
33
    from urlgrabber.grabber import URLGrabber
34
    from urlgrabber.mirror import MirrorGroup
35
    gr = URLGrabber()
36
    mg = MirrorGroup(gr, ['http://foo.com/some/directory/',
37
                          'http://bar.org/maybe/somewhere/else/',
38
                          'ftp://baz.net/some/other/place/entirely/']
39
    mg.urlgrab('relative/path.zip')
40
41
  The assumption is that all mirrors are identical AFTER the base urls
42
  specified, so that any mirror can be used to fetch any file.
43
44
FAILOVER
45
46
  The failover mechanism is designed to be customized by subclassing
47
  from MirrorGroup to change the details of the behavior.  In general,
48
  the classes maintain a master mirror list and a "current mirror"
49
  index.  When a download is initiated, a copy of this list and index
50
  is created for that download only.  The specific failover policy
51
  depends on the class used, and so is documented in the class
52
  documentation.  Note that ANY behavior of the class can be
53
  overridden, so any failover policy at all is possible (although
54
  you may need to change the interface in extreme cases).
55
56
CUSTOMIZATION
57
58
  Most customization of a MirrorGroup object is done at instantiation
59
  time (or via subclassing).  There are four major types of
60
  customization:
61
62
    1) Pass in a custom urlgrabber - The passed in urlgrabber will be
63
       used (by default... see #2) for the grabs, so options to it
64
       apply for the url-fetching
65
66
    2) Custom mirror list - Mirror lists can simply be a list of
67
       stings mirrors (as shown in the example above) but each can
68
       also be a dict, allowing for more options.  For example, the
69
       first mirror in the list above could also have been:
70
71
         {'mirror': 'http://foo.com/some/directory/',
72
          'grabber': <a custom grabber to be used for this mirror>,
73
          'kwargs': { <a dict of arguments passed to the grabber> }}
74
75
       All mirrors are converted to this format internally.  If
76
       'grabber' is omitted, the default grabber will be used.  If
77
       kwargs are omitted, then (duh) they will not be used.
78
79
    3) Pass keyword arguments when instantiating the mirror group.
80
       See, for example, the failure_callback argument.
81
82
    4) Finally, any kwargs passed in for the specific file (to the
83
       urlgrab method, for example) will be folded in.  The options
84
       passed into the grabber's urlXXX methods will override any
85
       options specified in a custom mirror dict.

116
117
    Instances of this class are built with a grabber object and a list
118
    of mirrors.  Then all calls to urlXXX should be passed relative urls.
119
    The requested file will be searched for on the first mirror.  If the
120
    grabber raises an exception (possibly after some retries) then that
121
    mirror will be removed from the list, and the next will be attempted.
122
    If all mirrors are exhausted, then an exception will be raised.
123
124
    MirrorGroup has the following failover policy:
125
126
      * downloads begin with the first mirror
127
128
      * by default (see default_action below) a failure (after retries)
129
        causes it to increment the local AND master indices.  Also,
130
        the current mirror is removed from the local list (but NOT the
131
        master list - the mirror can potentially be used for other
132
        files)
133
134
      * if the local list is ever exhausted, a URLGrabError will be
135
        raised (errno=256, no more mirrors)
136
137
    OPTIONS
138
139
      In addition to the required arguments "grabber" and "mirrors",
140
      MirrorGroup also takes the following optional arguments:
141
      
142
      default_action
143
144
        A dict that describes the actions to be taken upon failure
145
        (after retries).  default_action can contain any of the
146
        following keys (shown here with their default values):
147
148
          default_action = {'increment': 1,
149
                            'increment_master': 1,
150
                            'remove': 1,
151
                            'remove_master': 0,
152
                            'fail': 0}
153
154
        In this context, 'increment' means "use the next mirror" and
155
        'remove' means "never use this mirror again".  The two
156
        'master' values refer to the instance-level mirror list (used
157
        for all files), whereas the non-master values refer to the
158
        current download only.
159
160
        The 'fail' option will cause immediate failure by re-raising
161
        the exception and no further attempts to get the current
162
        download.
163
164
        This dict can be set at instantiation time,
165
          mg = MirrorGroup(grabber, mirrors, default_action={'fail':1})
166
        at method-execution time (only applies to current fetch),
167
          filename = mg.urlgrab(url, default_action={'increment': 0})
168
        or by returning an action dict from the failure_callback
169
          return {'fail':0}
170
        in increasing precedence.
171
        
172
        If all three of these were done, the net result would be:
173
              {'increment': 0,         # set in method
174
               'increment_master': 1,  # class default
175
               'remove': 1,            # class default
176
               'remove_master': 0,     # class default
177
               'fail': 0}              # set at instantiation, reset
178
                                       # from callback
179
180
      failure_callback
181
182
        this is a callback that will be called when a mirror "fails",
183
        meaning the grabber raises some URLGrabError.  If this is a
184
        tuple, it is interpreted to be of the form (cb, args, kwargs)
185
        where cb is the actual callable object (function, method,
186
        etc).  Otherwise, it is assumed to be the callable object
187
        itself.  The callback will be passed a grabber.CallbackObject
188
        instance along with args and kwargs (if present).  The following
189
        attributes are defined withing the instance:
190
191
           obj.exception    = < exception that was raised >
192
           obj.mirror       = < the mirror that was tried >
193
           obj.relative_url = < url relative to the mirror >
194
           obj.url          = < full url that failed >
195
                              # .url is just the combination of .mirror
196
                              # and .relative_url
197
198
        The failure callback can return an action dict, as described
199
        above.
200
201
        Like default_action, the failure_callback can be set at
202
        instantiation time or when the urlXXX method is called.  In
203
        the latter case, it applies only for that fetch.
204
205
        The callback can re-raise the exception quite easily.  For
206
        example, this is a perfectly adequate callback function:
207
208
          def callback(obj): raise obj.exception
209
210
        WARNING: do not save the exception object (or the
211
        CallbackObject instance).  As they contain stack frame
212
        references, they can lead to circular references.
213
214
    Notes:
215
      * The behavior can be customized by deriving and overriding the
216
        'CONFIGURATION METHODS'
217
      * The 'grabber' instance is kept as a reference, not copied.
218
        Therefore, the grabber instance can be modified externally
219
        and changes will take effect immediately.

    #   A GrabRequest should never be shared by multiple threads because
