+"""Generic socket server classes.
+
+This module tries to capture the various aspects of defining a server:
+
+For socket-based servers:
+
+- address family:
+ - AF_INET{,6}: IP (Internet Protocol) sockets (default)
+ - AF_UNIX: Unix domain sockets
+ - others, e.g. AF_DECNET are conceivable (see <socket.h>
+- socket type:
+ - SOCK_STREAM (reliable stream, e.g. TCP)
+ - SOCK_DGRAM (datagrams, e.g. UDP)
+
+For request-based servers (including socket-based):
+
+- client address verification before further looking at the request
+ (This is actually a hook for any processing that needs to look
+ at the request before anything else, e.g. logging)
+- how to handle multiple requests:
+ - synchronous (one request is handled at a time)
+ - forking (each request is handled by a new process)
+ - threading (each request is handled by a new thread)
+
+The classes in this module favor the server type that is simplest to
+write: a synchronous TCP/IP server. This is bad class design, but
+save some typing. (There's also the issue that a deep class hierarchy
+slows down method lookups.)
+
+There are five classes in an inheritance diagram, four of which represent
+synchronous servers of four types:
+
+ +------------+
+ | BaseServer |
+ +------------+
+ |
+ v
+ +-----------+ +------------------+
+ | TCPServer |------->| UnixStreamServer |
+ +-----------+ +------------------+
+ |
+ v
+ +-----------+ +--------------------+
+ | UDPServer |------->| UnixDatagramServer |
+ +-----------+ +--------------------+
+
+Note that UnixDatagramServer derives from UDPServer, not from
+UnixStreamServer -- the only difference between an IP and a Unix
+stream server is the address family, which is simply repeated in both
+unix server classes.
+
+Forking and threading versions of each type of server can be created
+using the ForkingMixIn and ThreadingMixIn mix-in classes. For
+instance, a threading UDP server class is created as follows:
+
+ class ThreadingUDPServer(ThreadingMixIn, UDPServer): pass
+
+The Mix-in class must come first, since it overrides a method defined
+in UDPServer! Setting the various member variables also changes
+the behavior of the underlying server mechanism.
+
+To implement a service, you must derive a class from
+BaseRequestHandler and redefine its handle() method. You can then run
+various versions of the service by combining one of the server classes
+with your request handler class.
+
+The request handler class must be different for datagram or stream
+services. This can be hidden by using the request handler
+subclasses StreamRequestHandler or DatagramRequestHandler.
+
+Of course, you still have to use your head!
+
+For instance, it makes no sense to use a forking server if the service
+contains state in memory that can be modified by requests (since the
+modifications in the child process would never reach the initial state
+kept in the parent process and passed to each child). In this case,
+you can use a threading server, but you will probably have to use
+locks to avoid two requests that come in nearly simultaneous to apply
+conflicting changes to the server state.
+
+On the other hand, if you are building e.g. an HTTP server, where all
+data is stored externally (e.g. in the file system), a synchronous
+class will essentially render the service "deaf" while one request is
+being handled -- which may be for a very long time if a client is slow
+to reqd all the data it has requested. Here a threading or forking
+server is appropriate.
+
+In some cases, it may be appropriate to process part of a request
+synchronously, but to finish processing in a forked child depending on
+the request data. This can be implemented by using a synchronous
+server and doing an explicit fork in the request handler class
+handle() method.
+
+Another approach to handling multiple simultaneous requests in an
+environment that supports neither threads nor fork (or where these are
+too expensive or inappropriate for the service) is to maintain an
+explicit table of partially finished requests and to use select() to
+decide which request to work on next (or whether to handle a new
+incoming request). This is particularly important for stream services
+where each client can potentially be connected for a long time (if
+threads or subprocesses cannot be used).
+
+Future work:
+- Standard classes for Sun RPC (which uses either UDP or TCP)
+- Standard mix-in classes to implement various authentication
+ and encryption schemes
+- Standard framework for select-based multiplexing
+
+XXX Open problems:
+- What to do with out-of-band data?
+
+BaseServer:
+- split generic "request" functionality out into BaseServer class.

+
+ example: read entries from a SQL database (requires overriding
+ get_request() to return a table entry from the database).
+ entry is processed by a RequestHandlerClass.
