== types with namespaces ==
- allow types to have namespaces, e.g.
__path/my/type

Execute all global explorers only when needed #286
My intention is to create a brunch of global explorer which are of use in some cases and makes cdist more userfriendly. But now, all global explorers are allways executed, even the return value of the explorers is never used.
I think a possible approach can be to replace the result files with pipes, and on first read of the pipe, the explorer is executed by the core, all following read calls from the pipe are answered from the core with the result of the first real execute of the explorer.
So cdist can have an unlimited number of global explorers and only used explorers are executed on the target host, all other explorers laying around are simply ignored.
Also a possible approach would be to create a new explorer type (dynamic explorers) which are sitting in a different directory to (for example dynexploer) and only this ones are executed with the conditional approach explained above. So the overhead to create pipes and monitor it is only in place on explorers which are not interesting for everyone ...

- how does a type react to a received 'event'?
- maybe something like:
__some_type/
manifest
...
gencode-refresh
...
- gencode-refresh -> code-refresh -> ssh $target sh -e code-refresh
logging:
- logging from type emulator without clobbering stdout
maybe implement logging server as described here [1]
[1] http://docs.python.org/py3k/howto/logging-cookbook.html#configuration-server-example
- use different logger to limit output to current area of interest,
e.g.
explorer.$target_host: explorer related messages for the run for $target_host
manifest.$target_host: manifest related messages for the run for $target_host
...
then one could filter e.g. on explorer.*
- more granular debug output,

tests:
__init__():
- sets up env: __target_host
run_initial_manifest():
- parameter is actually used (from __init__)
- ensure changing the manifest actually runs a different manifest
-> give ConfigInstall Constructor different manifest
-> different manifest is executed.
- test all submitted (from core to type manifest) variables:
- ENVIRONMENT
- they are set
- they contain the correct values
run_type_manifest():
- test all submitted (from core to type manifest) variables:
- ENVIRONMENT
- they are set
- they contain the correct values
- same tests as for test_initial_manifest_*?
run_manifest():
- test all submitted variables:
- ENVIRONMENT
- including __debug, if debug
- they are set
- they contain the correct values
- does $require work?
- check that exception raised, if manifest is not existent
object_run():
- ensure no object is run twice
- ensure requirements are taken into account?
- and order of run is adjusted
- check (from extern?) that all needed variables are setup
- ensure no code-{local, remote} is created,
if gencode is not producing code
- ensure THAT code-{local, remote} contains what gencode created
- abort if gencode-* fails
- abort if code-* fails
- abort == raise(FooException)
- gencode-*: ensure ENVIRONMENT is setup correctly
run_type_explorer()
- ensure ALL type explores have been run
- ensure output is saved to correct path
- ensure a type with {0,1,2} explorers works ?
- none, one, multiple
- ensure ENVIRONMENT is setup correctly
- fails if ANY of the given explorer fails
run_global_explorers():
- ensure ALL type explores have been run
- ensure output is saved to correct path
- ensure a type with {0,1,2} explorers works ?
- none, one, multiple
- ensure ENVIRONMENT is setup correctly
- fails if ANY of the given explorer fails
Code fixes needed:
- shutil, os.mkdir, etc. everywhere: catch/reraise exceptions correctly

Tests needed for config_install:
cleanup()
- Fail if cache_dir from previous run cannot be deleted
- Fail if cache_dir cannot be created from current out_dir
filter()
- ensure logformat is changed: target host is prefixed:
LOGLEVEL: target_host: MESSAGE
link_emulator():
- ensure that links to ALL types are created
- ensure that links points to correct executable
- i.e. readlink() works
- AND target of readlink is the correct executable
remote_mkdir()
- is directory created
remove_remote_path
- is path removed
transfer_path
- is src to dst transferred?
emulator:
may only be called with __ as prefix - fail otherwise!
