"""Extensions for CherryPy.

This module contains patches and add-ons for the stock CherryPy distribution.
Everything in here is compatible with the CherryPy version used in the chroot,
as well as the recent stable version as used (for example) in the lab. This
premise is verified by the corresponding unit tests.

  """CherryPy plugin for maintaining a port file via a WSPBus.

  This is a hack, because we're using arbitrary bus signals (like 'start' and
  'log') to trigger checking whether the server has already bound the listening
  socket to a port, in which case we write it to a file. It would work as long
  as the server (for example) logs the fact that it is up and serving *after*
  it has bound the port, which happens to be the case. The upside is that we
  don't have to use ad hoc signals, nor do we need to change the implementaiton
  of various CherryPy classes (like ServerAdapter) to use such signals.

  In all other respects, this plugin mirrors the behavior of the stock
  cherrypy.process.plugins.PIDFile plugin. Note that it will not work correctly
  in the presence of multiple server threads, nor is it meant to; it will only
  write the port of the main server instance (cherrypy.server), if present.
