Previously, we could get empty intervals anyway by having a non-empty
interval and removing a smaller interval around each piece of data.
Turns out that empty intervals are OK and needed in some situations,
so explicitly allow and test for it.
Now nilmdb.client, nilmdb.server, nilmdb.cmdline, and nilmdb.utils
are each their own modules, and there is a little bit more of a
logical separation between them. Various changes scattered throughout
to fix naming (for example, nilmdb.nilmdb.NilmDBError is now
nilmdb.server.errors.NilmDBError).
Reduced usage of "from __future__ import absolute_import" as much
as possible. It's still needed for the functions in the nilmdb/server
directory to be able to import the nilmdb module rather than the
nilmdb.py script.
This should hopefully ease future packaging a bit.
Inside the pycurl callback, we can't raise exceptions, because the
pycurl extension module will unconditionally print the exception
itself, and not pass it up to the caller. Instead, we have the
callback return a value that tells curl to abort. (-1 would be best,
in case we were given 0 bytes, but the extension doesn't support
that either).
This resolves the 'Exception("should die")' problem when interrupting
a streaming generator like stream_extract.
Use numbered subdirectories to avoid having too many files in one dir.
Add appropriate tests.
Also fix an issue where the mmap_open LRU cache could inappropriately
open a file twice because it was using the optional "newsize"
parameter as a key -- now lrucache can be given a slice object that
describes which arguments are important.
We replace cStringIO with StringIO subclass that forces UTF-8
encoding, and explicitly convert commandlines to UTF-8 before
shlex. These changes will only affect tests, not normal commandline
operation.
Spent way too long trying to track down a cryptic error that turned
out to be a CherryPy bug. Now we catch this using a decorator in the
'extract' and 'intervals' generators that transforms exceptions that
trigger the bugs into one that does not. fun!
