Various improvements to zkpython bindings
-----------------------------------------
Key: ZOOKEEPER-432
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-432
Project: Zookeeper
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: contrib-bindings
Reporter: Henry Robinson
Assignee: Henry Robinson
What's new, from the README for this new version:
----------------------------------
More test coverage.
Better reference counting, fixing at least two serious bugs.
Out-of-range zhandles are now checked, fixing a potential security hole.
Docstrings! Editing and cleanup required, but most of the text is there.
zookeeper.set_watcher is now implemented correctly.
zookeeper.client_id is now implemented correctly. zookeeper.init now respects
the client_id parameter.
get_context and set_context have been removed from the API. The context
mechanism is used by PyZK to store the callables that are dispatched by C-side
watchers. Messing with this from Python-side causes bugs very quickly. You
should wrap all desired context up in a callable and then use
zookeeper.set_watcher to attach it to the global watcher.
Many methods now have optional parameters (usually if you can specify a watch,
it's optional). The only time where genuinely optional parameters are still
mandatory is when a required parameters comes after it. Currently we still
respect the ZK C client parameter ordering. For example, you can simply connect
with zookeeper.init("host:port") and ignore the other three parameters.
